Thanks, Ian.
Tried the test data. Same error/failure.
I just checked out the git version of h5mma; the README seems mostly about the use of the utility in general, rather than installation instructions (I'm thinking of things like the prefix chosen at configuration stage). Should I build directly in the /Library/Mathematica/Applications directory (sounds wrong), or buld locally and move the result?

Hi Barry (and Ian). Thanks for your responses.
Barry, I tried the notebook you sent, and it fails in the same way (i.e. the bare ImportHDF5 command fails).
Ian, the HDF5 file *could* be corrupt, but I've read it into VisIt and used it with no issues.
As you suggested, I tried running h5mma on its own from a Terminal command line:
./h5mma
Create link:
... so it's expecting a "link", whatever it means by that. A target?
That's what it's supposed to do. It's starting the protocol that it uses to communicate with Mathematica which usually launches it. So the executable can be loaded, but it looks like it is crashing.
There is test data provided with SimulationTools. Can you try that file?
ImportHDF5[FileNameJoin[{$SimulationToolsTestSimulation, "output-0000/bbh/phi.xy.h5"}]]
If that fails as well for you, and works for Barry, then that shows that the problem is not related to the file.
Barry, I assume you were testing with the development version? I looked at the changes since the release, and I don't see anything which might be a serious bug which has not been backported.
