Howdy Rick!

There is no point tricking the configure into proceeding. If it
detects a problem, then there will be a problem in the build, even if
the configure proceeded. ;-)

The problem may be that you did not build HDF5 with the zlib
compression library. Complete instructions for building HDF5 as part
of netCDF-4 can be found here:

Please let me know if this doesn't help.

THanks,

Ed
