Attempted version bump pytables-3.3.0 (attached), verbatim copy of portage latest pytables-3.2.2, with one minor diff to not rm dir (hdf5) no longer present in pytables release tarball as of 3.3.0:

Compile error is as follows, build.log also attached:

Will report this to upstream if determined that this is not a Gentoo related issue.

Hi. Thanks for the bug report. Figure out with upstream what's the issue and then reopen this bug if it is indeed a Gentoo-related problem.
