Re: Reading Matlab v7.3 mat file

[Mathieu Dubois]

I have looked at the code in src/ls-hdf5.cc. The first problem(can't 
read 'keys') seems to appear at line 526. The value of the type_class_id 
is unknown: it is neither H5T_FLOAT, H5T_INTEGER,  H5T_STRING, H5T_COMPOUND.

Printing it reveal that it has value 7 which according to HDF library 
headers (H5Tpublic.h) means: H5T_REFERENCE.

For information I have Ubuntu 12.04 on a 64 bits system. Lib HDF5 is 
version 1.8.4-patch1. I have compiled octave without any option to 
configure.
