I don't see a problem.  When you ran "make check" for hdf5, 
there were no failed tests and the line 

   all tests were successful

appears (twice) in the output.

Although it doesn't cause any problems, you didn't need to include 
--enable-fortran or --enable-cxx for the netCDF-C library (or for
later build of the netCDF-Fortran library).  Neither the HDF5
Fortran or C++ libraries are used by netCDF.

Those are merely warnings, not errors, and can be ignored
when you're building HDF5.

I see no indications of any errors in building HDF5.  You should now
be able to install it just by running "make install".
