[netCDF #FLE-841916]: Testsuite summary for netCDF 4.3.2

Hi Ben,

OK, but are you sure that's HDF5 version 1.8.8 or later, preferably 1.8.13?
You can check by looking in the file 

  /mnt/data/bweinste/MEGAN/MEGANv2.10/local/hdf5/lib/libhdf5.settings

for a line like:

                   HDF5 Version: 1.8.13

which identifies the installed version.  An error message you're getting when
trying to run the netCDF tests seems to indicate an older HDF5 version, 
1.8.4 (patch1), which is too old to pass the stringent tests in netCDF 4.3.2.

To build netCDF, you need to set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to point to your HDF5
installation directories, something like

  H5DIR=/mnt/data/bweinste/MEGAN/MEGANv2.10/local/hdf5
  CPPFLAGS=-I${H5DIR}/include  LDFLAGS=-L${H5DIR}/lib ./configure ...
  make check
  make install # (or sudo make install)
