In practice the map file needs to be done by hand as you need to check what symbols changed and how (to cope with modifications rather than just additions). As this is the first versioning map file, the symbol names have no significance other than to document the version in which they were added, but it is important to enumerate each symbol and eliminate as many local symbols as possible. For linking multiple hdf libs, the symbol names need to be different between variants, hence HDF5_SERIAL_1.8.11 vs HDF_MPI_1.8.11 As far as I can tell, the MPI variants are equivalent. >> This is still a work in progress but I've got co-installable serial & >> parallel netcdf building from this; > > As I said before I really don't see any use for setting an alternative > against all flavors of the library. What could be the use case for that? My aim is that any existing setup will continue to work; ie. if you have mpich2 and hdf5-mipch2 dev libs installed on a wheezy system with local binaries built, then this should still work when upgraded to jessie. Also, any upgrades should minimize necessary changes. If you build a binary locally with openmpi + hdf5 openmpi, then change to mpich, it should continue to work , as the binary will have been built against the hdf5_mpi interface rather than an mpi-implementation specific version.
