I think that old thread is no longer valid for current versions of HDFD4. 
Instead, 
you must build the HDF4 library with the configure option "--disable-netcdf".  
See the
complete instructions here:

   
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html#build_hdf4

We'll try to get that old thread removed from our support archives.
