Thanks for getting the bug report in. I was poking around the ParaView source and it does not look straight forward at all to substitute in a prebuilt HDF5 library (system hdf5). I can not even find the CMake Variables that might let me do this. I tried so simply substitute the latest stable HDF5 into the source tree but as I figured CMake threw lots of errors. If you give me a gentle nudge I might be able to help a bit. We are really being held back by this with our current data sets.
