building pytables on mac os lion

I'm trying to build pytables 2.3.1 on mac lion, but I've faced with this error:

tsf-wpa-3-6133:tables-2.3.1 Hesam$ python setup.py build * Found numpy 1.5.1 package installed. * Found numexpr 1.4.2 package installed. * Found Cython 0.15.1 package installed. .. ERROR:: Could not find a local HDF5 installation. You may need to explicitly state where your local HDF5 headers and library can be found by setting the HDF5_DIR environment variable or by using the --hdf5 command-line option.

Do you know what's the solution?

Thanks.

If you do the following, I think you can install it successfully:

  1. brew install hdf5
  2. install c-blosc(https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc/).

I built PyTables successfully on Mac OSX 10.7 today. Wrote a blog post: http://ericjang.tumblr.com/post/25096909713/annoying-pytables-build-on-mac-osx-10-7

Hope it helps!
