[netCDF #VTI-484586]: configure for netcdf 4.3.3.1 can't find hdf5dll and exits

The configure script looks for an HDF5 library in several places, if it can't 
find it
in any of the standard locations for shared libraries, which include an hdf5dll 
file.

From the config.log file you sent, it appears that you haven't used the LDFLAGS
and CPPFLAGS environment variables to specify where the HDF5 library is
installed. There's examples of how to do this with a POSIX-compliant shell such
as bash in the instructions for building from source:

  
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html#build_default

If you're using a different shell such as csh or tcsh, you'll need to use 
setenv instead
to set LDPATH and CPPFLAGS environment variables.

Note that sometimes  you also need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running 
configure, if the installed library is not found from the LDFLAGS variable.

If this doesn't fix the problem, please let us know.
