Probably you upgraded HDF5 to version 1.8, which changed the API (and  
defined a bunch of macros to rename H5Dopen to H5Dopen1 etc., with  
different numbers of arguments, hence the compiler complaints).

If you download h5utils 1.11.1 (the latest version), it should detect  
HDF5 1.8 and compile correctly.
