[netCDF #SLW-388108]: Configure error: Can't find or link to the hdf5 library

Greetings Tiantian,

Have you tried setting you CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS with a space between each -I 
and -L statement, like so?

export CPPFLAGS="-I${hdf5_prefix}/include -I${zlib_prefix}/include 
-I${szlib_prefix}/include"

export LDFLAGS="-L${hdf5_prefix}/lib -L${zlib_prefix}/lib -L${szlib_prefix}/lib"

./configure --prefix=${itl_prefix}/netcdf-4.1.3/gcc

Also, what are the *_prefix variables defined to be?

Cheers!

Sean
