Ok. First, those are pretty old versions of netcdf-c and HDF5.
If feasible, you should consider upgrading to the latest releases.

More to the point, can you send us the full output of the 'make check'
command so we can see what directory has the failing tests.

> I've tried to install netCDF4 on my machine (Ubuntu 18.10) as per the link:

> 
> Everything seemed to work smoothly until running "make check" in the
> top-level netCDF directory, where I got these errors:
