You need to specify to the configure script where to find the installed HDF5
library, using the --with-hdf5=... option.

Also, we've heard the "-xT" option may cause problems linking with ifort, so
if the Fortran tests fail due to not finding Fortran netCDF functions, you
might try omitting the "-xT".
