Hi All...in the configure script (via matio_hdf5.m4), it looks like it's necessary for the HDF5 library to be configured to write 1.8 files by default in order to use the library. However, in the code, it appears that H5Pset_libver_bounds is set correctly for writing files, and HDF5 1.10 can read HDF5 1.8 files. With reading and writing covered, I'm wondering if this configure check is obsolete? If so, can it be removed?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks. I thought I was having was with the macro, but I see now that on Ubuntu 18.04, apt puts the HDF5 library at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/libhdf5.soand the include at /usr/include/hdf5/serial/hdf5.h.

matio_hdf5.m4 is the appropriate check if HDF >= version 1.8.x is available. If it is, then HAVE_HDF5 is defined, otherwise HAVE_HDF5 is undefined.
