Octave 3.0.0 and HDF5 1.8.0 compilation error

[jdelia]

Dear developers,

My compilation problem of Octave 3.0.0 including the HDF5 1.8.0 library was
fixed following the suggestion of the Project's Boss.

Really, the full package compilation is now successful and it is very nice.

As a second personal error, I have not answered on the list so others  
may comment. I apologise for this flaw. Here there is an email' summary.

Regards,
Jorge.
