Hi Adam,

If the suggestion below doesn't work, please send the config.log file. It has
more information about the causes of such failures than the messages from
running
configure.

It looks like you built HDF5 as a shared library, so many of the flags used to
build netcdf-4.3.0 are not needed, but I don't immediately see why including
extraneous flags should make hdf5.h not be found.
Here's exactly what worked for me, using a shared library build, with libz
installed
in /opt/lib:
1. I built HDF4 with --disable-netcdf (for reason, see
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/build_hdf4.html ) :
./configure --prefix=${H4DIR} --enable-shared --disable-netcdf
--disable-fortran
make
sudo make install
2. I built HDF5 with
./configure --prefix=${H5DIR} # no --enable-shared needed, it's the
default
make all check
sudo make install
3. The netcdf-4.3.0 build was
CPPFLAGS="-I${H5DIR}/include -I${H4DIR}/include -I/opt/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L${H5DIR}/lib -L${H4DIR}/lib -L/opt/lib" \
./configure --enable-hdf4 --enable-hdf4-file-tests
make check
sudo make install
If that doesn't work for you, please send config.log.
