[netCDF #QSA-208676]: netcdf (c) compilation with hdf5 on ubuntu

Hello Timothy,

You don't mention which version of Ubuntu you're using, but `libhdf5.dll` is 
typically a Windows naming convention.  I would expect that you find create 
either a libhdf5.so or libhdf5.a file, depending on whether you are compiling a 
shared or static library.  

If these files aren't being created, I'm a bit at a loss.  Does the compiling 
step complete successfully? Do you run 'make install'? If the answer to these 
are 'yes' and you still aren't getting a libhdf5* file, you might contact 
support at the HDF5 group and see if they can provide further guidance.

I hope this helps,

-Ward
