[netCDF #NCP-653180]: Request to help

> I am using hdf-5 1.8.13, but my folder is named as hdf-5 1.8.14.

I see the problem.  You have invoked the netCDF configure command as

   ./configure --with-hdf5=/usr/local/bin/hdf5-1.8.14/lib 
--prefix=/usr/local/bin/netcdf-4.3.3.1

but the netCDF configure doesn't understand the "--with-hdf5=" option, 
and even emits an error message about it:

    configure:20429: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-hdf5

that should have appeared at the end of the output from configure.
You can see all the options the netCDF configure accepts by invoking
"./configure --help".

Instead, you need to use the environment variables CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS,
as in the examples in the installation instructions:

   
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html#building

For example, in your case you could use:

   $ H5DIR=/usr/local/bin/hdf5-1.8.14
   $ ZDIR=/usr/local/bin
   $ NCDIR=/usr/local/bin/netcdf-4.3.3.1
   $ CPPFLAGS="-I${H5DIR}/include -I${ZDIR}/include" LDFLAGS="-L${H5DIR}/lib 
-L${ZDIR}/lib" ./configure --prefix=${NCDIR}

That should work OK, but note that "bin" in an unconventional 
location in which to store libraries and include files.  Typically,
one would install libraries in /usr/local/lib/.
The /usr/local/bin/directory is conventionally used for programs 
and utilities and /usr/local/include/ for header files. That's just a 
convention, but the way you are doing it will result in netCDF
utilities such as ncdump being stored in 

  /usr/local/bin/netcdf-4.3.3.1/bin/necdump

with two "bin" subdirectories in the path, for example.
