The output of "make check" for netCDF-4.0.1 shows

  *** Checking HDF5 deflate filter setting and getting...10 failures
  *** Checking HDF5 deflate, fletcher32, shuffle filter setting and 
getting...11 failures
  *** Checking HDF5 endianness control...35 failures
  56 errors detected! Sorry!
  FAIL: tst_h_vars

which indicate problems with the HDF5 library.  In particular, it appears that
the HDF5 library is not finding the zlib library.  Please look in the directory
containing libhdf5.a or libhdf5.so and see if there is a file named 
libhdf5.settings.
If so, check if it includes the line

         I/O filters (external): deflate(zlib)

If not, then you'll have to rebuild the hdf5 library and make sure it's built 
with
the zlib filter.

Maybe the problem is caused by specifying --disable-shared for the HDF5 library,
which is OK but means that you will have to make sure "-lz" is explicitly 
included
when linking netCDF.  This can be accomplished by including the environment 
variable
assignment

  LDLIBS="-lz"

with the other environment settings for the netCDF ./configure script.  If other
libraries needed at runtime are missing, you may need to add additional 
libraries
to the LDLIBS environment variable.
