Added the `lib` directory to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.\r\n\r\nRunning kallisto gives me the error `./kallisto: error while loading shared libraries: libhdf5.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`\r\n\r\nI solved this by going into `/path/to/hdf5-1.8.15-patch1/lib` and running `ln -s libhdf5.so libhdf5.so.7`. Not sure if others have experienced this, but this worked for me."}}
