 For a new FAQ:

 Q: I get errors like "/usr/include/H5Dpublic.h:145: error: too many
 arguments to function ‘hid_t H5Dopen1(hid_t, const char*)’"

 A: The HDF5 library you use is either version 1.6 or defaults to it. If it
 is version 1.6.x, update to 1.8.x. If it is 1.8.x and it defaults to the
 1.6 API version, you might be out of luck, especially on Debian Squeeze
 systems, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=537414. What
 you can then do is to remove (comment) out the macro H5_USE_16_API_DEFAULT
 in /usr/include/H5pubconf.h. This isn't pretty, but is really a bug in the
 package and has to be fixed there. There is no way to switch to the new
 API on those systems, other than specifying the API version of each symbol
 separately, which would be even messier.
