Howdy Huaiyu!

Can you send me the complete output from configure and make check, and also 
config.log?

As you note, netcdf-4.1 is not compatible with HDF5 1.6.x, only HDF5 1.8.4 and 
later.

Everything should work, as long as you specify another HDF5 directory. If you 
are using shared libraries for HDF5, you must also set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the 
location of the 1.8.4 libraries. (Unless you do --disable-shared when 
configuring, HDF5 builds shared libraries by default.)

Thanks,

Ed
