Howdy Rick!

With a little more experience I see that the problem you are having is because
your HDF5 library was built with szlib.

You can do that by setting the environment variables as I suggest in a previous
email:
FFLAGS=-L$HDF5DIR/lib FCFLAGS=-L$HDF5DIR/lib CFLAGS=-L$HDF5DIR/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I$HDF5DIR/include LIBS=-lsz ./configure --enable-netcdf-4
--with-hdf5=$HDF5DIR

I have just modified the netCDF-4 snapshot to build more cleanly with szlib,
but I am still testing so you might want to just stick with the distribution
you have and set the flags...

Thanks!
