I suggest that you not link with the "mfhdf" library, so try removing
"-lmfhdf" from the link lines.  If I remember correctly, the MFHDF
library provides a netCDF-2 API on top of the HDF4 file format, so
would have name clashes with the netCDF-3 library that also has
backward-compatibility support for the netCDF-2 API.  You also might
need to remove any includes you have for mfhdf.h, since that may
define some conflicting symbols or prototypes.
