Hello, It certainly sounds like it might be related to centos 5; I can't say for certain, as that is not a platform we regularly test on. It might also be related to the errors in hdf5. If the hdf5 library is not working correctly, the parts of the netcdf library that rely on hdf5 (including the parallel IO support) are unlikely to work correctly either. Can you provide additional information regarding what errors you encounter when run_par_test.sh fails? If you would also provide your 'config.log' file, that would also be useful in diagnosing the issue.
