ImportError: libhdf5.so.10: Ne peut ouvrir le fichier d'objet partagé: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

Seems like the bindings are not at the right spot, and when going to the folder importing vtk throws an error about some hdf5 missing (which is installed, propably as a dep).
Also seems like it want to throw the same error with vtk7, if it finds the import : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49689?opened=15544&status%5B0%5D=
