Howdy Richard!

Can I guess that you built netcdf with --enable-shared?

If true, try setting environment variable (assuming you are on Linux)
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory that holds the HDF5 library. Like this (in
bash):
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/test/lib (if that is where you installed
HDF5).

Then try again.

If this does not solve this, please let me know.

Thanks!

Ed
