Using RedHat Linux 2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 19 12:09:25 EST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

I mean to have hdf5.h.

In another Ubuntu system Linux 4.4.0-75-generic #96~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 20 11:06:30 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I can do

$ dpkg -S /usr/include/hdf5.h
libhdf5-openmpi-dev: /usr/include/hdf5.h

In RedHat I executed

# yum whatprovides "*/hdf5.h"

No Matches found

and

# repoquery --whatprovides "*/hdf5.h"

(no output).

I Googled "redhat which package provides hdf5.h", and I found https://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/dag/redhat/el6/x86_64/hdf5-devel-1.8.7-1.el6.rf.x86_64.html I wonder whether this is correct, and whether there is another alternative, similar to that in Ubuntu, to look for the info at the command line.

How can I tell which package to install to get the corresponding header under RedHat?

  • Specifically, [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/2507087/147356) to that question. – larsks Jan 09 '18 at 14:43
  • It looks as if `hdf5` is not packaged for RHEL6. Packages from [Fedora 14](https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/14/Everything/i386/os/Packages/) are generally compatible with RHEL 6 (you would need both `hdf5` and `hdf5-devel`). – larsks Jan 09 '18 at 15:24
  • @larsks - I guess they are, given that the package I downloaded is `hdf5-openmpi-devel-1.8.5.patch1-10.el6.i686.rpm`.
