Please send us the config.log file from the netcdf 4.3.2 or 4.3.3 build.  It 
appears that a version of the HDF5 library older than 1.8.8 is being used, 
even though you have version 1.8.13 installed.  You might also be able to 
determine this with the ldd command on one of the executables ncdump, 
ncgen, or nccopy.

If that's the problem, please uninstall the old HDF5 library or set the CPPFLAGS
and LDFLAGS environment variables to point to the 1.8.13 HDF5 library before
running configure.

The netCDF-C tests should all pass and be installed before building the 
netCDF-Fortran library that depends on the installed netCDF-3 library.
