Hello Ryan,

NetCDF-C requires hdf5 1.8.10 or later; the version you're building with should 
be fine.  What version of cmake are you using? Also, how are you invoking it?  
For example, when I build with cmake on Windows, I'll invoke it as follows:

    cmake <path to netcdf-c source> -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:\share 
-DHDF5_DIR=c:\share\cmake\hdf5

where `c:\share` is where I've installed HDF5.  Also, are you specifying 
HDF5_DIR?

If you can tell me how you're invoking CMake, I will do my best to help you get 
it working; the versions you're using should not be the problem.

Thanks, have a great day,

-Ward
