How did you install hdf5 on your system? EPEL repository, another
repo, or built from source? What is the output of "rpm -qa \*hdf5\*"?
Also can you list the output of "grep -i hdf5 config.status" in your
Octave source tree?

I have a CentOS 6 64-bit with hdf5 installed from the EPEL repo and no
problems linking Octave with their hdf5 build.

These symbols show up for me as well, this is normal behavior for the library.
