[netCDF #VBL-754206]: netcdf check failled

Hi Yann,

Did you use something like "make -j6 check"?  If so, that won't work.
There are tests that, if run in parallel, will interfere with each other. If
that's what happened, try "make check" without the -j argument.

If you didn't use make -j check, then please send us your config.log
and output from "make" and "make check.

> In the log, it's stated that I have a mismatch of hdf5. 

That would also cause test failures.

Use the environment variables CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to specidy to
configure exactly which HDF5 library to use, e.g.

  H5DIR=/path/to/install/location
  CPPFLAGS=-I${H5DIR}/include LDFLAGS=-L${H5DIR}/lib ./configure --prefix=...
