It seems to me that these filters are provided but not installed system wide under the hdf5 plugin directory. So each project/scripts which would require a plugin need to register the plugins on it's own. I am wondering if the best would not be to build and install the plugins under the hdf5 lib expected plugin directory on the system Which is not trivial to know. An improvement would be to add a variable to the pkgconfig files in order to expose this plugin directory. I do not know if the puglin directory is the same for the serial and the mpi version of the library. If clear instruction are provided in order to provide system wide plugin, then we can patch all these pacakage whcih should provide plugins and request them to install the plugin at the right place. Then we will have an hdf5 librairy with out of the box plugin support :). I found also this link with all the filter available around hdf5. so I tought that the hdfgroup would provide a tar.gz with all of them pre packaged in source forme. since you are in charge of the hdf5 package, I tought that you have a privilegiate contact with them. https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/support/HDF5+Plugins Cheers Frederic
