[netCDF #MMH-563741]: Make check failure

Hi Marston,

When you built the HDF5 libraries and installed them, there was probably a file
named lib/libhdf5.settings installed along with the libraries.  Please check the
setting for CPPFLAGS.  Ours says:

  CPPFLAGS: -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

If yours HDF5 was not built with this macro defined, you will need to build it 
again.  Presumably you are also using

  HDF5 Version: 1.8.4-patch1

If that doesn't fix the problem, please let us know.
