Errors on attachment on Ubuntu 17.10

[dseynaev]

Installed via:

> devtools::install_github("hhoeflin/hdf5r")

And the headers using

apt install libhdf5-dev

Which installed version 1.10.0-patch1+docs-4 on my ubuntu 17.10 box. https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/libhdf5-dev

I am seeing some strange errors when attaching the package:

> library(hdf5r)

However, this seems to be mostly harmless since I can use the package normally afterwards (did not test everything yet though)

Note that version 1.10.0-patch1+docs-4 will also be the default on the next Ubuntu LTS (18.04) which is scheduled for release later this week.

Any ideas?

Thank you for reporting. Will look into it next opportunity.
