I tried building the first example here and got errors. Right on the first line there's a missing include statement, but I managed to figure out it should be
#include "hdf5.h"
But even after fixing that I got more errors:
$ h5cc ./example1.c
./example1.c: In function ‘main’:
./example1.c:66:4: error: too few arguments to function ‘H5Dcreate2’
In file included from /usr/include/hdf5.h:27:0,
from ./example1.c:6:
/usr/include/H5Dpublic.h:104:14: note: declared here
Any idea how to solve it?
