pytables on Ubuntu 11.04 with python 2.7

When  you try to install regular hdf with pytables support on ubuntu 11.04 for python 2.7 there is little unresolved dependency (liblzo – LZO [3[) that doesn't get instantly resolved. If you try some "import tables" you can get somethink like this:

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tables/hdf5Extension.so: undefined symbol: H5T_STD_U8BE_g

According to this source [1] there is a workaround to this:

apt-get install liblzo2-2

This is filed as issue [2], and hopefully it will be resolved in future.
