Hi Adam,

From the config.log file you sent,  I see the following:

````
configure:4416: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:4438: gcc   -L/soft/hdf4/4.2.11/gnu-5.2/lib conftest.c -lsz -ljpeg >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
````

So, it looks like the issue is a failure when looking for the szip library.  
What happens if you try running `./configure --disable-dap --disable-netcdf-4` 
?  This should disable most external dependencies, and it should help us see if 
the issue is specific to gcc 5, or if the issue is related to the dependencies 
it is looking for.

Thanks, I hope this helps!
