Hello All,

I just signed up to this list, so I apologize if this question has been
asked before.

I am trying to load an hdf5 file into R and running into some problems. Here
are the steps I took to configure my environment:

    * R 2.10.0 (x64) on Mac OS X 10.6
    * hdf5 1.8.3 installed via macports
    * hdf5_1.6.9.tar.gz from CRAN

I suspect the problem I am having relates to incompatibilities in my version
of HDF5 and the one the R module expects. For completeness here is how I
installed the R module:

    R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include'
--configure-args='--with-hdf5=/opt/local' hdf5_1.6.9.tar.gz

This builds fine. The library seems to load without issue, but no data is
returned when I try to load a file:

    > library(hdf5)
    > hdf5load("test.h5")
    > NULL

Yet,

    osx:data scott$ h5dump test.h5 HDF5 "test.h5" { GROUP "/" { DATASET
"dset" { DATATYPE H5T_STD_I32LE DATASPACE SIMPLE { ( 31 ) / ( 31 ) } DATA {
(0): 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, (14):
16384, 32768, 65536, 131072, 262144, 524288, 1048576, 2097152, (22):
4194304, 8388608, 16777216, 33554432, 67108864, 134217728, (28): 268435456,
536870912, 1073741824 } } } }

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
Scott
