Hello,

There are several reasons this may be happening.  Depending on where you 
installed libhdf5, `configure` may not be able to locate it.   You would 
correct this using the LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS environmental variables.  For 
example:

    $ LDFLAGS=-L/custom/install/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/custom/install/include 
./configure

Note that, depending on your system, you may also need to modify your 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH at runtime, or else the program may fail when it cannot find 
the libraries.  

If this is not enough information, please let me know.  I'll need to know where 
you installed the hdf5 libraries, and if you can provide the config.log file 
generated when you configure netcdf, that would help too.

Thank you,

-Ward
