[Users] Help needed in recovering from iadvertent hdf5 update on mac

HDF5 1.8.15 is broken. A patch will be released shortly. The development
version of thorn ExternalLibraries/HDF5 already contains a copy of the
patched version; if you use this version of the thorn and specify
HDF5_DIR=BUILD in your option list, you should be fine.
