[netCDF #YMN-275592]: Compiling NetCDF with CMake, Error in finding HDF5 configuration files

For a start, see if you can read 
> ...<HDF5_DIR>/cmake/hdf5/hdf5-config.cmake
into a text editor and see if it looks reasonable.
Also, you might compare it other xxx-config.cmake
files if you have any (curl-config.cmake, for example?).

Ward will probably have a better idea of what is the problem.
