From this error:

> PASS: tst_h_atts3
> HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.5-patch1) thread 0:
>   #000: H5Z.c line 1372 in H5Zget_filter_info(): Filter not defined

it looks like HDF5 needs to be built with zlib.  You can build HDF5 successfully
without zlib, but it won't work for netCDF-4, which requires HDF5 be linked with
zlib in order to read and write compressed files.

Also, there are more recent versions of netCDF-4, for example version 4.1.2, 
4.1.3,
or 4.2, all of which have improvements over version 4.1.1.  But they also all 
require
HDF5 built with zlib, unless you specify --disable-netcdf-4 when configuring 
netCDF.
