Only if you want to read/write netCDF-4/HDF5 files. If you are only
using the classic netCDF formats, then you don't need to install
HDF5. In that case, configure with --disable-netcdf-4.

If you do install HDF5, get 1.8.4-patch1 or better. In that case,
configure netCDF with --with-hdf5=/install/location.

As for netCDF, get the recent 4.1.1 full release.

Let me know how it goes.
