I tried building hdf5-0.9 in R-1.2.2 in a Linux box and got some
warnings (listed below). If I try to load a HDF data file, I get a
core dump (the same file can be read in R-1.2.2 (Win) [Thanks,
Marcus!], and in R-1.1.1 both Win and Linux). Has anyone found similar
problems or symptoms? I have installed in R-1.2.2 in /usr and R-1.1.1
in /usr/local, but I guess they are not interfering with each other.

Thanks a lot,

Eiji
