Hi Ram,

> [root@ofsprod-bk netcdf-4.0.1]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local 
> --enable-netcdf-4 
> --with-hdf5=/usr/local/lib64,/usr/local/lib,/usr/lib64,/usr/lib

The --with-hdf5 and --with-zlib options do not permit a list of library 
directories.  In each case a single library directory must be specified.
Specifying a list of multiple library directories is the cause of the error

  configure: error: Can't find the hdf5 header and/or library, or can't link a 
program       to it. HDF5 must be built with zlib; the location of zlib must be 
specified for netCDF-4 with the       --with-zlib option. If   HDF5 was also 
built with szlib, then the location of szlib must also be       specified with 
the --with-slib option.

Since you're using the 64-bit compiler, just give a single 64-bit library in 
each case and see if the configure script finishes in that case.
