Howdy Paida!

It was good to talk to you at the HDF5 workshop!

In answer to your question above, it may have to do with shared vs. static libra
ries. I would suggest getting the HDF5-1.8.5-patch1 release, and the netCDF dail
y snapshot, and building them both as shared libraries (the default).

Thanks,

Ed
