The posters initial problem is https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39491
where we should replace the deprecated H5Giterate with H5Literate.

On the other hand octave can indeed load "simple" .h5 files without attributes. I've created a C project which creates a .h5 file for testing purposes here https://github.com/octave-de/hdf5_tests.

My plan is to add groups which triggers bug 39491 and fix ls-hdf5.cc then.

Thanks for your bug report. I'll summarize here so people don't have to read through the mailing list thread.

The docstring for the load function is vague about what types of HDF5 files it can operate on. Perhaps it should be more explicit that it will load files created by Octave's "save -hdf5" or by Matlab's "save -v7.3" and nothing else.
