+The cause of the problem is that `export HDF5_ROOT=/opt/hdf5/vX.X.X/...` sets the `HDF5_ROOT` environment variable, which leads
 to HDF5 being built with possibly a different version (or compiler settings) for HOPR and CGNS.
-Here, it does not matter if the correct path is exported via `export HDF5_DIR=...` if the variable **HDF5_ROOT** is used.

 ## Testing HOPR
 After compiling, you can test HOPR by going to the `tutorials` directory and running the script `executeall.sh`, which will run
 HOPR for all tutorial cases.
