[netCDF #VQF-302876]: Unsuccessful make check on OSX undefined functions

Howdy Jed!

Thanks for pointing this out. I don't know how I made such a silly mistake! I 
have fixed this in the code base, which means it will be fixed in tomorrow's 
daily snapshot release. You should not have to use --with-hdf5 if HDF5 is in 
your system directories, so this was a bug.

Thanks again!

Ed
