[netCDF #APV-976877]: ncopen error message



Good afternoon Peter,

The file 'hdf5.h' is part of the HDF5 distribution, provided by the HDF5 group. 
 The source code for HDF5 is available at the following address:

http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/

The pre-built hdf5 libraries are also available at: 

http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html

They have a number of different packages, organized by development platform and 
development environment.  Hopefully this should be enough to get you going!
