[netCDF #RPP-420427]: memory leak

Did configure complete OK with no error messages about the HDF5 library?

You shouldn't even have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, "make check" should work
OK without it after a successful run of the configure script.

If you can't figure it out, you can compare your output with the output
from building the snapshot release on various platforms with various
configure options here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/builds/snapshot/

when there is at least one green (OK) build.  I see that currently 
its red because we're in the middle of fixing something.

Alternatively, you can send in a more complete report of what went
wrong, as listed here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Reporting-Problems.html

and one of us will have a look at it when we can.
