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!
