[netCDF #YSY-473903]: make check fails with HDF5/netCDF4-beta1

Howdy Charlie!

No, netCDF-4 will not work well if HDF5 does not work.

Have you contacted the HDF5 support people? They will be very interested in 
this bug I think.

Funny, HDF5 beta1 has never failed "make check" on any machine I've tried here 
at Unidata. You're just lucky I guess!

I have forwarded this email to address@hidden, hopefully they can tell us what 
is going wrong on your HDF5 build...
