FYI, I just tried building netCDF with HDF-1.8.8 on a Mac Pro running OS X 
10.7.2 (Lion).

Zlib installs fine, but HDF5 will not build properly.  I get the same error 
running 'make check' whether I use HDF5-1.8.6, 1.8.7, or 1.8.8 (see below).

The response from HDFGroup is "use OS X 10.6.8".  Unfortunately all new Macs 
come with 10.7, and downgrading is not really an option.

NetCDF 4.1.3 without HDF5 built just fine.  Thanks, guys!
