I think the errors you're seeing were caused by an incompatibility between 
the current HDF5 version with an older netCDF version (4.0.1).  You should 
get a newer version of netCDF, for example the latest official release 4.2.1.1,
and follow the directions here:

Note there are also instructions for building on Windows as well as prebuilt
binaries here:
