I found out that I needed to set up my LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable otherwise it will not find the path to the shared library. set it up like this: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/hdf5/lib
Then rebuild the project. Once rebuilt type: ldd build/Release/hdf5.node (or whatever your module name is) and see if your HDF5 shared library you trying to link to is listed. If not than it didn't link correctly.
