So evidently it's building these test programs like tst_h_files OK,
linking to the shared library libhdf5_hl.so in /usr/local/lib.

But later, when it tries to execute the program tst_h_files, it can't
find the library:

> make check-TESTS
> make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/netcdf-4.1.3/h5_test'
> ./tst_h_files: error while loading shared libraries: libhdf5_hl.so.7:
> cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
> FAIL: tst_h_files

Is /usr/local/lib/libhdf5_hl.so a symbolic link to something like
libhdf5_hl.so.7, which is a symbolic link to a real file, somethig
like libhdf5_hl.so.7.0.2 ?  If not, there was some problem with your
attempt to install HDF5.

Also, when you run

  ldd tst_h_files

in the directory /usr/local/src/netcdf-4.1.3/h5_test, does it show 

        libhdf5_hl.so.7 => /usr/local/lib/libhdf5_hl.so.7 ...

or something else?

Also, if your system is not configured to look in /usr/local/lib for
shared libraries, you may have to set the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to contain /usr/local/lib before running make check.
