Hi,
I've found how to fix my problem. In fact it was rather simple (I must
admit that I'm a little ashamed...). When I look more closely at what
the setup.py does, I've realized that during the linking process,
there was only one library from Hdf5 which was included : "libhdf5".
But the functions in the Dimension Scale API don't belong to this
library, but to "libhdf5_hl". So I've modified the setup.py, to add
this missing library. And then I don't get any error message from
Python.

For the moment I've only modified the code for the linux part, but it
should be easy to extend it to the other os.

Now I can start to design the Python class for the Dimension Scale
which can use these methods.

I join to this mail the modified setup.py
