Hello from Gregg C Levine
It happens that I was able to compile both the latest release of
netcdf-4 and both versions of HDF on this system. (Not now.) I also
run Slackware Linux here. This was on 10.0. My only problems were in
convincing the configure scripts to work correctly. 

After that it just worked. Please note that I didn't use the release
of HDF5 that you chose. I chose the HDF5-1.6.2 since I didn't see
anything else on the server.
