[netCDF #PPF-156580]: bug in nc-config hdf5 library path

> Hello,
> 
> There seems to be a bug in nc-config's setting of the library search
> path for the HDF5 libraries.

> --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf-4.0.1 --with-hdf5=/usr/local/hdf5-1.8.2
> --enable-netcdf-4
> 
> But nc-config gives the wrong HDF5 library search path (it is missing /lib):
> 
> /usr/local/netcdf-4.0.1/bin/nc-config --libs
> -L/usr/local/netcdf-4.0.1/lib -lnetcdf -L/usr/local/hdf5-1.8.2 -lhdf5_hl

Thanks Hal!

This has already been fixed in the netCDF codebase. To get the latest version 
of nc-config (and the rest of the library) try the netCDF daily snapshot 
release:
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz

Thanks, and keep on netCDFing!
