[netCDF #NQT-973003]: netcdf compilation - H5Fflush not found

Hello,

The issue appears to be a combination of how netCDF 4.4.1 (an old release) 
detects H5Fflush in HDF5 1.8.13 (also a very old release).  I would recommend 
updating both to the latest versions, 4.4.1.1 and 1.8.19 respectively.  If you 
do not wish to do that, you can also update to the latest netCDF-C *or* the 
latest HDF5; this will solve the issue you are observing.

I hope this helps,

-Ward
