Can't Install h5py on Ubuntu 9.10

[Mkanyicy]

Hi,

I tried installing h5py using 'easy_install' but I got a huge error
message that is 1500+ lines. Here is the first few lines.

How can I fix this?

It looks like you don't have the "development" version of Python
installed (Ubuntu package "python-dev"). H5py needs the Python
headers in order to compile.

You'll also need:
HDF5 (libhdf5-serial and libhdf5-serial-dev)
NumPy (python-numpy)

Hope this helps,
Andrew

Thanks Andrew! That solved the problem! Cheers.

hi dear Andrew, i encounter the similar issue while i tried to install h5py in my Ubuntu(13.10). here is the promlem:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_1_7_deprecated_api.h:15:2: warning: #warning "Using deprecated NumPy API, disable it by " "#defining NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API NPY_1_7_API_VERSION" [-Wcpp]

 #warning "Using deprecated NumPy API, disable it by " \

  ^

In file included from h5py/defs.c:259:0:

h5py/api_compat.h:22:18: fatal error: hdf5.h: No such file or directory

 #include "hdf5.h"

                  ^

compilation terminated.

error: command 'i686-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

----------------------------------------

Cleaning up...

Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools;__file__='/tmp/pip_build_root/h5py/setup.py';exec(compile(open(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-EnzIF1-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/h5py

Storing complete log in /home/yeoman/.pip/pip.log 

 i update my python for the development version and tried to compile the source code downloaded from the home of h5py. However, i still can'y fix the problem myself and hence turn the google groups for help.looking for your reply soon.best wishes

Hi,

You will also need to install the HDF5 library; I believe it's called
something like "libhdf5-serial-dev" on Ubuntu.
