If you are using configure to build the netCDF-C library from source,
you have to rebuild netCDF using the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment
variables (or configure flags) when you rerun configure. For example
$ H5DIR=/your/path/to/hdf5
$ CPPFLAGS="-I${H5DIR}/include"
$ LDFLAGS="-L${H5DIR}/lib"
$ ./configure --prefix= ...
Here's some documentation:
