SZ is a compression library. You can find the source on the hdf5 website

http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/doc_resource/SZIP/

though given the above error message it appears that that fedora x86_64 
hdf5 rpm has a broken dependency on szip... I'm sure a urpmi with the 
right package name for szip will fix the issue...
