pytables安装失败

I do:

sudo pip install --upgrade tables

I get:

    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhdf5
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
.. ERROR:: Could not find a local HDF5 installation.
   You may need to explicitly state where your local HDF5 headers and
   library can be found by setting the ``HDF5_DIR`` environment
   variable or by using the ``--hdf5`` command-line option.
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lhdf5

however:

$ echo $HDF5_DIR 
/opt/hdf5/
$ ls /opt/hdf5/
bin  include  lib  share
$ ls /opt/hdf5/lib/
libhdf5.a     libhdf5_hl.la  libhdf5_hl.so.8      libhdf5.la        libhdf5.so libhdf5.so.8.0.1
libhdf5_hl.a  libhdf5_hl.so  libhdf5_hl.so.8.0.1  libhdf5.settings  libhdf5.so.8

怎么了？如何调试？我已经尝试将 HDF5_DIR 设置为 /opt/ 或 /opt/hdf5/lib。

我在尝试在本地 virtualenv 中工作的 Debian sid 上也遇到了同样的错误。为了解决这个问题，我做了：

apt-get build-dep python-tables
HDF5_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/ && pip install tables

...现在它正在工作。
