Public bug reported:
python-tables depends on libhdf5 and makes a link to libhdf5.so.6, but
when importing a freshly installed version of PyTables in 12.10 you get
this error:
>> import tables
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tables/__init__.py", line 30, in
<module>
from tables.utilsExtension import getPyTablesVersion, getHDF5Version
ImportError: libhdf5.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
The version of python-tables in Quantal now has a dependency on
libhdf5-7. libhdf5-7 only creates a file libhdf5.so.7, see
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/amd64/libhdf5-7/filelist
It seems that the binary file included in python-tables called
utilsExtensions.so is looking for libhdf5.so.6 but it isn't there.
I used this symlink work around to get the package to work:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libhdf5.so.7.0.2 /usr/lib/libhdf5.so.6
which I copied from this similar octave bug:
