Hello Kamen,

It looks like the file that's failing is `run_nc4_tests.sh` in the `ncgen` 
directory.  This is a rather old version of netcdf, the latest full release is 
`4.3.3.1`.  This can be downloaded from 
https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/releases/v4.3.3.1.  You might give this a 
try to see if the issue persists.  Also, when building hdf5, you will need to 
enable the high-level library by passing '--enable-hl' in addition to the other 
flags you've specified.

Please give these changes a try (recent netcdf version, high-level hdf5 
library) and let me know if the issue persists.

Thanks, I hope this helps!
