Reverting the package libhdf5_10 from the current version 1.8.17-1 to the previous version 1.8.16-1 means that octave 4.0.1-1 can save the workspace. So: workaround: revert libhdf5_10 to 1.8.16-1. Presumably, the current version of octave was compiled at an inopportune point; I don't think this is something that I can remedy myself, is it?the official workaround is mentioned on the warning message "You can, at your own risk, disable this warning by setting the environment variable 'HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK' to a value of '1'. Setting it to 2 or higher will suppress the warning messages totally. Headers are 1.8.16, library is 1.8.17" so if you use, before running octave export HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK=1 you will still see the warning but the action will be completed export HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK=2 will suppress also the warning.
That is slightly scary, since the warning says "Data corruption or segmentation faults may occur if the application continues." Segfaults aside, the prospect of data corruption is unpleasant.
Thanks for looking further into it, and for you advice. I'll follow this progress with interest, since I use octave and cygwin rather extensively.I think this is the correct place to report this to; it isn't a problem per se with the individual programs, but with the way they're packed together. I think. Do correct me if I am wrong; I'm a bit new to this whole business.It is the right place. This problem is clearly a hdf5 upstream problem and a questionable design choice.
