Howdy Roy!

I hope things are going well for you in California these days!

Your make check failure seems to imply that you built HDF5-1.8.4 without the 
--with-zlib option. 

You must use --with-zlib for netCDF-4 to work.

Here's a little hint for the future, test programs that start tst_h_* are tests 
of the HDF5 installation, and don't involve any netCDF code. So when a test 
with that sort of name fails, it means that your HDF5 layer is the place to 
look for the problem.

Thanks!

Ed
