benchmarks won't complete as file not found. about h5bench

[yzanhua]

I had the same problem. The error message says no file called h5bench_write. "h5bench_write" is located at the same place as the file "h5bench" (i.e. the build directory).
I fixed this issue by adding the build directory to PATH.

@christophermaynard and @yzanhua we fixed that in the main branch, could you confirm you are not still facing this issue?

[yzanhua]

@jeanbez I am still facing this issue if I call h5bench from another directory different from the build directory.
For example the following does not work:

$ mkdir ~/test
$ cd ~/test
$ /path-to-h5bench-build-directory/h5bench --debug configuration.json

I see in the "h5bench" python script that there is a "PREFIX" appended before "H5BENCH_PATTERNS_WRITE". But it seems no one will modify "PREFIX" .

[jeanbez]

@yzanhua so the directory where you installed h5bench is not in the global path, correct? If that is the case, the script with not find the executables if you are not launching it from the directory where it was built. I'll update the documentation to clarify that.

[yzanhua]

@jeanbez Yes. Adding the build directory to the global path helps me solve the issue. Thank you for the clarification.
