At compile time, you need to set LDFLAGS
instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Something like
  LDFLAGS=-L/opt/intel/lib/intel64:/opt/lib -lhdf5 -lhdf5_hl

> Package Version:
> Operating System: Linux Fedora
> Hardware:
> Description of problem: This must have been reported many times in the past. 
> When I try to configure netcdf, it reports
> 
> checking for library containing H5Fflush... no
> configure: error: Can't find or link to the hdf5 library. Use 
> --disable-netcdf-4, or see config.log for errors.

> I have hdf library under /opt/lib, and have the path defined
