Linking error when compiling examples: error: cannot find -lhdf5-shared

[Amit Sharma]

Hello everyone,

I installed dealii using spack manager. I started learning dealii using examples but I am getting a linking error.

Amit,

Did you load the hdf5 package? You can check using `spack find --loaded`.

Best,

Bruno

Hello,

It seems hdf5 library still needs to be loaded. Try something like "spack load hdf5**" before compiling your code.

With regards

Ajay

Dear Bruno,

Yes, I loaded hdf5(version-1.10.7) and I tried same with latest version available on spack.

Thanks,

Amit

Is there already a solution to this issue?

I have the same problem as Amit Sharm;

hdf5 is loaded.

There is some issue with dealii-9.4.0 with spack. I uninstall everything and install dealii-9.3.1 which works fine. Details are below if anyone needs it.

spackv0.17
cmake-3.16.3

spack install dea...@9.3.1 target=x86_64

Best Regards,

Amit Sharma

In case you do not need hdf5, you can install dealii without hdf5 enabled as

spack install dealii~hdf5

which worked in my case.

Best

Simon
