The errors were caused by an incompatibility between the latest HDF5
version 1.8.8 with the older netCDF version 4.1.1.  You could get a 
newer version of netCDF, for example the latest official release 4.1.3

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4.1.3.tar.gz

or the current development snapshot release in

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz

to build with HDF5-1.8.8.

Alternativey, you could get an older version of HDF5 to build with netCDF 
4.1.1, for example:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4/hdf5-1.8.4-patch1.tar.gz

which is the version mentioned in the installation guide for
netCDF-4.1.1.
