You need to add to your link options when building applications that use
netcdf-4.

When compiling the CDO, you need to set LIBS to be -lnetcdf -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5
-lz instead of -lnetcdf.

And if you installed HDF5/zlib somewhere different fron netcdf, you will need
to provide both locations to the linker with the -L flag. (Which you can do by
setting the LDFLAGS environmental variable.)

Please let me know if this doesn't help.

Thanks,

Ed
