New issue 597: Autodetection of hdf5 library doesn't work on Linux
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/597/autodetection-of-hdf5-library-doesnt-work

Kacper Kowalik:

When `HDF5_DIR` is unset and `hdf5.cfg` doesn't exists, setup tries to autodetect hdf5 library by using `ctypes.util.find_library("hdf5")`. On Linux it returns only filename without leading path and thus rest of the code fails.
