casarest fails on lwimager

[oonkjbr]

Upon compiling (for centos7) casarest (v1.3.1) directly after casacore (v2.3.0) in a standard LOFAR compilation I get an error regarding lwimager and hdf5 in the make. Is there a solution? I have now also tried casarest v1.4.2 and adding the HDF5 root dir, include dir and lib to the cmake with -D, but this did not help either...

A possible solution for centos(7) is to remove the HDF5 install where hdf5 is obtained via wget from support.hdfgroup.org and instead install hdf5-devel via: (epel is needed for centos as the ubuntu libhdf5-dev does not have a a libhdf5-devel counterpart in centos)

sudo yum install –y epel-release
sudo yum-config-manager --enable epel
sudo yum install hdf5-devel

Should be fixed by f1d73d044676bb2a0c41bc28e3b07611748d8abc using a sufficiently recent casacore (2.4.0 should do).
