[netCDF #FRY-525370]: while compiling (make check), netcdf is not able to find hdf5 path for shared libraries even after setting it in ./configuration and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Hi Bhupendra.

What is the output of the command

  $ ldd /home/bhupendra/Downloads/netcdf-4.3.0/h5_test/tst_h_files

Also, what is the output of

  $ file -L /usr/local/lib/libhdf5.so.8

and

  $ ls -lL /usr/local/lib/libhdf5.so.8
