hdf5

hdf5 is a software module available on Comet.

If you are intending to use HDF5 within R, be aware that due to practical limits of the size of the library path not all module library paths are added by default. If you are compiling R libraries which need HDF5, then you will need to extend your LD_LIBRARY_PATH for any additional system libraries (HDF5, Szip, etc) that your R library needs. Please take a look at how to extend your library search path within an R or R-Studio environment:
