Cannot make installation to work about torch-hdf5 HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, could you try checking out the latest version from github and building using "luarocks make" instead of "luarocks install" please? No need to specify the dir. Listing the HDF5 dependency in the rockspec as I did before seems to cause problems on newer Ubuntu versions because luarocks cannot detect hdf5 in its new location, but CMake should still be able to find it. The updated rockspec removes the external dependency from the rockspec to avoid this problem. However, as this is an experimental fix, the rockspec on torch/rocks has not been updated in the same way yet. If the new rockspec works, I will update the default one.

Thanks

It worked

Ah good, thanks for the info!

I was still running into this issue with a local install of HDF5. I tried various ways of setting HDF5_ROOT, HDF5_LIBRARIES, HDF5_INCLUDE_DIRS, but none of these worked. Ultimately, updating my path as suggested here did the trick:

export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/hdf5-dir/"

Just in case this helps someone else who runs into this issue.
