Mac users may need to set the environment variable "HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING" to the five-character string "FALSE" when accessing network mounted files. This is an application run-time setting, not a configure or build setting. Otherwise errors such as "unable to open file" or "HDF5 error" may be encountered.
