Greetings!

The issue is that netCDF-4 requires the HDF5 library to be installed. If you
do not require netCDF-4 (just netCDF-3), then you can pass the 
--disable-netcdf-4 flag to the netcdf configure script. If you do want
netCDF-4 enabled, then I suggest following the quick build/installation 
instructions
found here:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Quick-Instructions.html#Quick-Instructions

or, if you prefer more details, take a look at the more detailed installation
instructions:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Building-on-Unix.html#Building-on-Unix

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers!

Sean
