OK.

yes that's right. I have vtkH5PartReader and vtkH5PartWriter which 
include H5Part.h and other stuff. Because we have problems with Parallel 
IO under NFS, I can use MPI to send data between nodes inside the 
wrapper code and then do the writing from H5Part serially.
Since We include MPI, and H5Part thinks MPI is not available as we are 
in serial mode, it has wrong type definitions. The easy fix is to put 
back the HAS_MPI and HAS_PARALLEL flag that I previously used and 
alluded to. I will send a patch once I'm happy with it.
