You have to use a more recent version of HDF5, 1.8.8 or later, with 
netCDF-4.3.2.

There was a bug in HDF5-1.8.7 and earlier versions that we didn't test for in 
the corresponding netCDF version 4.1.3. The current netCDF version 4.3.2 
detects 
the HDF5 bug when built with HDF5-1.8.7 or earlier, but builds fine with HDF5 
versions 1.8.8 and later. If you have to rebuild HDF5 from source anyway, I 
would recommend just using the latest version 1.8.13.
