After you restart the terminal it stops working and i have to build it again. I dont understand what the issue is, building it again everytime is annoying. i m using kdb 4.0 and hdf5 1.12.0

Hi @pkchit

It sounds like the interface isn't able to find the libhdf5.so shared object from the HDF5 group at run time.

As outlined in the README.md here have you added the location of the lib folder of the HDF5 C API to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH/DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH?

This gives the interface a location where it may be able to find the required HDF5 group shared object at run time, which the interface needs. If you are doing the export on a per session basis then you may want to consider making it permanent by adding to your ~/.bashrc. Doing this is outlined in the accepted answer here.

All the best,

Conor

No problem at all
