Hi Emma,

> I received an error whist trying to compile netcdf4 and it asked to report to

The problem is use of too old a version of the HDF5 library. 

The current netCDF-C release requires HDF5 1.8.9 or later, and you used 
HDF5-1.8.4-patch1. Please upgrade your HDF5 library before building
netCDF.

Thanks!
