[netCDF #BCK-607109]: netcdf 4.0.1 problems

> 
> Hello,

Can you tell me (if you know) a better way to handle this?

> 3. If zlib/hdf5 directory is specified as /some_dir, /some_dir is put in

Thanks, this previously reported bug has been fixed. The fix is available in 
the snapshot release.

I'm not sure how to fix this.

Correct, that needs to be updated.

> 6. If I configure with --enable-netcdf-4, but --with-hdf5 is not

I am anticipating addressing this problem in the code right after the upcoming 
4.1 release.

Thanks, I have applied that patch, but I don't see why this failed for you.

There are several structural changes we are planning to make in the code after 
the 4.1 release, including redoing how dependent libraries (like HDF5) are 
handled in the build.

Thanks,

Ed
