[SOLVED] where to get libhdf5.so.100 for debian jessie

#1 Post by Scindix »

Hi community,
for a program that I use on my server I need the exact library "libhdf5.so.100". A quick google search reveals that this file is only contained in packages from sid or stretch: https://www.google.de/search?q=site%3Ap ... df5.so.100
However I am using Debian Jessie Stable and so I cannot use these. Is there any other way of getting that library like an external/unofficial repository?

Thanks in advance,
Scindix

EDIT: I rechecked the google search results that I have linked above and it seems that not even these packages contain the required library.

The best way to get it would be to backport it. I had a quick look and see that backporting it'd involve bit of "dependency hell." For a start, you'd need the backported version of debhelper and then you'd find that default-jdk-headless isn't available for debian jessie either which in turn would a newer version of default-jre-headless...which doesn't bode well; but who knows? Maybe stevepusser can figure it out. :wink:

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.

Debian has no files named exactly libhdf5.so.100 upstream, only variants that are part of the libhdf5-X library. Judging by the ".100", I'd make a guess that it wants something related to the libhdf5-100 library that's in Stretch, because that's the number that's at the end of its differently named .so files. Perhap if that version was backported and a symlimk made to one of those .so files, it would get your mystery package working--but the developers of your package could give a better reply than I could.

Debhelper 10 build-dependencies are usually very easy to revert to 9. The jdk-headless stuff would be more complicated to backport--maybe waiting for answers from the experts on the mystery package would be prudent. I know it's possible, but a bit tricky, having already done it for MX 16 as shipped.

I fixed my problem via other means.

I could acquire access to the source code and compiled it against the library version that comes with the official debian jessie package (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/libhdf5-dev ). So I don't really need that specific version anymore. However it was bit odd that the shared object was in "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial" which is not a standard include path for gcc. I had to add it to CPATH in order to get it working.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your effort in helping me anyway.
