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:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/netcdf-4/newdocs/netcdf-install/Quick-Instructions.html

Please let me know if this doesn't help.

THanks,

Ed
