Help compiling HDF5

Hi
We recently compiled VASP with HDF5 for the first time (v 6.5.0). But p4vasp cannot read our vaspout.h5 file produced, while it can read the hdf5 file from a different HPC system. We are using Ubuntu 24.04. Our IT is most familiar with Intel OneAPI so we would ideally like to stay in that eco-system. Do you have any guidance for how to compile HDF5 so that it is compatible with VASP and p4vasp?
Thanks much
Kirk

For the makefile.include options for HDF5 support see [urlhttps://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/Makefile.inc ... _features)]here[/url].
Please also check the validity of your produced HDF5 files with command line tools that ship with the HDF5 installation. For explanations see here:

PS: p4vasp was the old visualizer tool, which is not supported anymore. But I guess you meant py4vasp which is the new one.
