[netCDF #XOS-979526]: Problems building with --enable-hdf

Orion,

Did you mean "--enable-hdf4"?  As far as I know, there is no "--enable-hdf" 
option for netCDF, and I get a warning when I use that option:

  $ ../configure --enable-hdf
  configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-hdf
  configure: netCDF 4.3.1-rc4
    ...

though it should probably be a fatal error rather than a warning ...

I talked with Ward about it, and he says he can add automatic handling 
of the jpeg dependency when the HDF4 library is built statically, but it 
probably won't be in the next release candidate.
