I see no reasons why mpi.h has to be included but for the case you
are using one of the -mpi flavors. In that case you should depend
on libhdf5-mpi-dev. I don't undestand why you are trying to use
both -serial and -parallel flavors.

I think this is due to the present version of hdf5. As said in the
related bug report, currently HDF5 upstream simply does not support
correctly (at least IMHO) parallel and serial flavor and Debian
never did that. So the only way to do that is providing an embedded
serial/parallel.

Honestly not, but for pushing HDF5 team - already done - about things like
that. Unfortunately this is a quite cornet case: most projects use
serial xor parallel flavors. As explained, diverging from upstream
would be out of question: it would require patching for ever
both hdf5 and all reverse dependencies (at least for parallel support).

Hi, 

[Please CC me, I'm not subscribed].

I'm currently faced with #598227, 
http://bugs.debian.org/598227
which concerns the way Octave uses hdf5 and its header files (or rather,
how hdf5 includes mpi.h). Please read the bug report for information,
it's presented there far better than I could formulate it.

Background information:
The preferred way to build binary 'extensions' or 'plugins' for Octave
is using the mkoctfile shell script. I'm not aware of any software in
Debian that does not use mkoctfile for building such extension.

Now, I could fix the above bug by hacking mkoctfile, but somehow this
looks like the wrong solution to me. If I include hdf.h, do I really
have to care about mpi which may or may not be used?

So, are there better solutions than adding /usr/include/mpi/ to
mkoctfile's include flags?

Thanks
	Thomas

Both -serial and parallel flavors are used due to users' demand:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=231114
It has been like this for at least 6 years (I don't use any of the hdf5
features of Octave). 
It used to work all the time without problems; or maybe there were
problems all the time and nobody noticed, who knows.

Anyway, I don't mind dropping the parallel hdf5 support if that's the
easiest way forward. Do you see another way?

	Thomas

Hi Francesco, 

you sent your mails only to me. Do you mind if I put them into the BTS
for future reference?

Thanks
