Hello Jacob,
The reason the old version is being picked up at runtime is likely because the
linker is finding the older library first. You might be able to override this
by specifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jhedeliu/wrf/ver3_7/hdf5-1.8.15/hdf/lib at
runtime. If your program were called 'foo', you would do this as follows:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jhedeliu/wrf/ver3_7/hdf5-1.8.15/hdf/lib ./foo
Alternatively, you could do this as an environmental variable, but I would
strongly suggest that you not do it as a global/persistent setting; this could
cause problems for other programs.
Another alternative, if this does not work, would be to rebuild hdf5-1.8.15 and
disable the shared library, leaving only the static library. You would do this
by passing '--disable-shared' to the 'configure' script packaged with
hdf5-1.8.15. This way, netcdf would link against the static library when
built, and would not seek out a shared libhdf5 at runtime.
I hope this helps,
