whether using $ make install or >> pkg install hdf5oct-0.4.0.tar.gz on Octave 3.8.1 or Octave 4.0, I get the error

$HOME/octave/hdf5oct-0.2.0/h5read.oct: undefined symbol: H5P_CLS_DATASET_CREATE_ID_g
error: called from 'doc_cache_create>create_cache' in file /usr/share/octave/4.0.0/m/help/doc_cache_create.m near line 106, column 18

That looks as if you used the octave package from your distribution (I'm talking of deb or rpm packages, not module packages organised by octave)? Octave itself must have the hdf5 support (because hdf5oct reuses some functions), so maybe it helps, if you install the octave-hdf5 package if there is one. Can you try this?

On Ubuntu 15.10 with the Ubuntu repo Octave 4.0.0, I can install and use h5read. I also installed liboctave-dev and h5utils.
On Ubuntu 14.04 with Ubuntu repo 3.8.1, etc. I get the error.
On Ubuntu 14.04 with octave/stable PPA 4.0.0, etc. I get the error.

I don't see octave-hdf5 in the repos

Please note that I there is ongong work to incorporate the function of hdf5oct into GNU Octave core. If you are interested, you can get it from https://bitbucket.org/carandraug/octave/commits/branch/h5read
