I fixed it by adding the following to bindings-hdf5.cabal, under library:

  include-dirs: /usr/include/hdf5/serial
  extra-lib-dirs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial

Should we add this to the repo? That would be useful so that other people using Ubuntu 15.04 can run stack install bindings-hdf5 globally and it would just work, rather than having to manually clone the repo, update the cabal file, and build manually.
