how to install libhdf5-dev? (without yum, rpm nor apt-get)
<p>I want to use h5py which needs libhdf5-dev to be installed. I installed hdf5 from the source, and thought that any options with compiling that one would offer me the developer headers, but doesn't look like it.</p>

<p>Anyone know how I can do this? Is there some other source i need to download? (I cant find any though)</p>

<p>I am on amazon linux, yum search libhdf5-dev doesn't give me any result and I cant use rpm nor apt-get there, hence I wanted to compile it myself.</p>

<p>Can you use pip?</p>

<pre><code>pip install h5py
</code></pre>

python linux install hdf5
