Hello Genevieve,

From the test-suite.log file you attached, I'm seeing the following error:

````
./tst_h_files: error while loading shared libraries: libhdf5.so.8: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
````

This suggests that `libhdf5.so.8` is not on your system LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  This 
typically happens if the hdf5 library is not in `/usr/lib`.  If it were 
installed in `/usr/local/lib`, he way to fix this would be to either specify 
your environmental LD_LIBRARY_PATH when needed, e.g.

    $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib make check

or to specify this in your .bashrc, .cshrc, etc.   

If you are unsure where this is located, I'd be happy to help figure it out if 
you can provide the `config.log` file generated when you configured netcdf.  
Otherwise, please let me know if you are unable to fix this issue.

Thank you, have a great day,

-Ward
