Hi,

I've got the same problem, compiling Paraview 4.3.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. fails.
I've done what you've suggested

125 #ifdef H5_HAVE_SETJMP_H
126 /* Added to test whether including works */
127 #error("setjmp.h is included")
128 #   include <setjmp.h>
129 #endif

and subsequently the compilation fails with

In file included from /dev/shm/anlaufb/ParaView-v4.3.1-
source/VTK/ThirdParty/hdf5/vtkhdf5/src/H5make_libsettings.c:46:0:
/dev/shm/anlaufb/ParaView-v4.3.1-source/VTK/ThirdParty/hdf5/vtkhdf5/src/
H5private.h:127:2: 
error: #error ("setjmp.h is included")
 #error("setjmp.h is included")
  ^

so the include-mechanism seems to work fine.

All the mentioned variables are identical to the values you've provided.

Can you provide any insights how to fix this?

Thanks in advance
Benedikt
