Bug#772833: libhdf5-dev: Cannot compile code using C++ bindings for HDF5

[Patrik Schönfeldt]

Package: libhdf5-dev
Version: 1.8.13+docs-15
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The C++ bindings for HDF5 (hdf5/serial/H5Cpp.h) use <hdf5/serial/H5Include.h>.
In this file the usual GDF5 header is included with (wrong) absolute path. This
results in:

/usr/include/hdf5/serial/H5Include.h:17:18: fatal error: hdf5.h: No such file
or directory
#include <hdf5.h>

Including with relative path solves the problem.

Yours,
Patrik Schönfeldt
