[netCDF #VOG-153523]: netCDF 4 fails to build with HDF4

Hi Mark,

I was able to reproduce the problem with ncgen3 getting unrecognized externals
and finally figured out the problem.

When you build HDF4, you have to use the "--disable-netcdf" configure option,
to prevent it from building its own version of the netCDF-2 library which
conflicts with the version built by our netCDF software.

Specifically, here's what worked for me:

First I built and installed HDF5 with --prefix=${H5DIR}.
Then I built and installed HDF4 with

  ./configure --enable-shared --disable-netcdf --disable-fortran 
--prefix=${H4DIR}
  make
  make install

Then for netCDF-4.1.3 (and this probably works for later versions as well), I 
used

  CPPFLAGS="-I${H5DIR}/include -I${H4DIR}/include -I/opt/include" 
LDFLAGS="-L${H5DIR}/lib -L${H4DIR}/lib -L/opt/lib" ./configure --disable-shared 
--enable-hdf4 --enable-hdf4-file-tests

and make check completed with no errors.  It also worked fine with 
"--disable-dap",
but I had the necessary libcurl previously installed in /opt/lib, so I verified 
that
it works with DAP client access.  The HDF-4 file tests also completed 
successfully.

I'm adding the need to specify "--disable-netcdf" when building HDF4 to the 
document

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/build_hdf4.html

as it seems to be necessary to get this working.  Thanks for reporting the 
probem!
