This page lists some of the known problems in HDF5-1.6.7 both during and after release time.

"make check" fails when testing h5dump with the error, "...tail: cannot open '+41'"
This indicates that your system is a new platform that is not supported by The HDF Group yet. It uses the newer Gnu Coreutil syntax. The "tail -n +4" syntax is the newer POSIX syntax that is not recognized by systems that conform to the older POSIX syntax. Changing the command to use this new syntax will not work on some of the current platforms (e.g., SunOS, ...) that we support. Therefore, this change has not been added to the software.
Run the HDF5 "make check" by first setting the environment variable, _POSIX2_VERSION to the value "199209". For example,
setenv _POSIX2_VERSION 199209
This solution is documented in the Gnu coreutils manual page:
