Did you find any solution? I have the same problem

the same problem to me

[emerth]

I solved this problem by building HDF5 1.8.18 from source and installing it in /opt/hdf5-1.8.18.

wget https://support.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/releases/hdf5-1.8/hdf5-1.8.18/src/hdf5-1.8.18.tar.gz
tar -xzvf hdf5-1.8.18.tar.gz
cd hdf5-1.8.18
./configure --prefix=/opt/hdf5-1.8.18
make
make install

Building HDF5 prints an unholy amount of warnings from the compiler!

Then did the following:

export PATH=/opt/hdf5-1.8.18/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/hdf5-1.8.18/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
luarocks remove hdf5
luarocks install hdf5
pip uninstall h5py
pip install h5py

You do this because luarocks is invoking HDF5's CC wrapper script named h5cc to run the C compiler and h5cc does the script-foo to link against it's version of the libs. In the output from the "luarocks install hdf5" look for confirmation of the HDF5 location used.

I expect you'll need to export these environment variables each session you run the lua scripts.

TBH I didn't bother digging into the pip reinstall except to note that afterwards the file "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/h5py/version.py" contains this line "api_version_tuple = (1,8)"

train.lua is currently grinding away at a dataset!
