Hi,

I am trying to build Pylith from source in Ubuntu 15.04 and I get an error
when building HDF5:

make[6]: *** [h5tools_dump.lo] Error 1
make[6]: Leaving directory `/home/laura/build/pylith/hdf5-build/tools/lib'
make[5]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/laura/build/pylith/hdf5-build/tools'
make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/laura/build/pylith/hdf5-build'
make[3]: *** [hdf5] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/laura/build/pylith'
make[2]: *** [installed_hdf5] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/laura/build/pylith'
make[1]: *** [installed_netcdf] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/laura/build/pylith'
make: *** [installed_pylith] Error 2

I have tried to build other versions of the package available in
http://geoweb.cse.ucdavis.edu/~buildbot/deps/

but I always get the same error. Following suggestions in the install file,
I have also tried to change the features/packages selected when doing
configure, but the error is always the same.
I have built Pylith from source before, on a Virtual Machine. Now I am
using a Liinux PC. Could the problem be related to incompatibilities
between make and autoreconf, etc ? At the beginning I was using make v4,
and it seems that it has some backwards incompatibilities. I have installed
v3.81, but I get the same error. When using make v4, before line "make[6]:
*** [h5tools_dump.lo] Error 1" above, I used to get a line "Makefile.553 :
recipe for target 'h5tools_dump.lo' failed".

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Laura
