I am trying to build netCDF with netCDF-4 support on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).

I successfully built zlib and HDF5 (I think) with --prefix=/usr/local.

When I try to build netCDF with --prefix=/usr/local I get the following error

advect> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
configure: netCDF 4.3.3.1
checking build system type... x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0
checking host system type... x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0
checking target system type... x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0
 .
 .
 .
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.

It looks to me like the HDF libraries are in /usr/local

advect> ll /usr/local/lib

And netCDF will build successfuly if I use --disable_netcdf-4.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Ken Bowman
