This one is for EPEL 5 on there site. http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/8177721/com/ hdf5-1.6.7-1.el5.i38 6.rpm.html
I installed the hdf5 package off EPEL (via yum install hdf5) and my yum install octave still fails with the same error.
Error: Missing Dependency: libhdf5.so.0 is needed by package octave
when I look at that hdf5 package, I see...
# rpm -ql hdf5 /usr/bin/gif2h5 /usr/bin/h52gif ....
/usr/share/doc/hdf5-1.8.0/README.txt
libhdf5.so.5 and .5.0.0 and _hl.so.0 != what octave is looking for. I know EPEL isn't a CentOS project, IIRC, its a Fedora/RH projecct but this isn't looking good.
Just to reassure you. I've had no problems with octave and hdf5 ( both from epel ).
From what you've written, I don't think this it the problem, but just to be sure: are you running x86_64 and have installed i386 hdf5?
