[netCDF #MFG-811670]: Fwd: configure: error: Can't find or link to the hdf5 high-level. Use --disable-netcdf-4, or see config.log for errors.

Hi,

This sounds like a problem with your HDF5 installation.  The HDF5 "make 
install" should have installed library files with names such as 

  -rw-rw-r--  1 russ ustaff   563282 May 23  2012 libhdf5_hl.a
  -rwxrwxr-x  1 russ ustaff     1012 May 23  2012 libhdf5_hl.la*
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 russ ustaff       19 May 23  2012 libhdf5_hl.so -> 
libhdf5_hl.so.7.0.3*
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 russ ustaff       19 May 23  2012 libhdf5_hl.so.7 -> 
libhdf5_hl.so.7.0.3*
  -rwxrwxr-x  1 russ ustaff   346459 May 23  2012 libhdf5_hl.so.7.0.3*

in /usr/local/lib.  Do you have any libhdf5_hl* files in that directory?  Do 
you have a libhdf5.settings file in that directory with the line

             High Level library: yes

in it?  If not, you need to check you HDF5 installation.
