Hello,

The netCDF build environment looks for, amongst other things, libraries named 
`libhdf5.so`, `libhdf5.a`, etc.  I'm inspecting a ubuntu 15.10 system right 
now, and I can see that the libraries contain H5Fflush.  They are just named in 
a manner we do not expect.

Try copying libhdf5_serial.a to libhdf5.a and let me know if this works for 
you.  I will also update our build systems to look for hdf5 libraries with this 
naming convention.

I hope this helps,

-Ward
