We've got a source release here:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4/hdf5-1.8.13.tar.gz

but a better place would be the The HDF Group site where we got it 
from:

  http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html

If you don't see a pre-built binary distribution for your platform, 
get the source code release under the "All Platforms" link.
