Hi Evan,

Sorry it has taken so long to respond to your question.

Because netCDF-4 depends on features of HDF5 added in the 1.8 release, there is
no
way to build netCDF-4 from source based on the HDF5-1.6.x libraries, as far as
I know.

Your suggested approach of using sharable libraries with IDL and MATLAB
probably
won't work either, because of changes to the HDF5 interface between version 1.6
and 1.8.

I think you will have to wait until IDL or MATLAB have upgraded to the 1.8
release, unfortunately.
