<p>SphericalHarmonicRecon's Recon.cc file uses H5LTread_dataset_double (<a href="https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/HL/RM_H5LT.html#H5LTread_dataset_double" rel="nofollow" class="ap-connect-link">https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/HL/RM_H5LT.html#H5LTread_dataset_double</a>) which is only available in the hdf5 hl level library which is only provided in hdf5 1.8.7.</p>
<p>Nothing in the ET states that HDF5 1.8 is required.</p>
<p>This can be fixed my making sure that hdf5_hl is included in HDF5_LIBS which also will make compilation fail if the library in indeed missing.</p>
<p>We should decide whether we want to bump ExternalLibraries/HDF5's version number and have it itself check for HDF5 1.8 in which case thorns can rely on this version being present (if they require a new enough HDF5 ExternalLibraries) or provide workarounds in Reconn.cc.</p>
