[netCDF #ICM-394957]: can't find or link hdf5 library

Hello,

Have you installed the hdf5 libraries?  From the config.log file you provided, 
it appears that the error is very straight forward; the compiler cannot find 
the hdf5 libraries on the system.  If libhdf5 exists in the location you are 
specifying, ~/api-install/lib, can you provide some information regarding how 
it was built?  

Thank you,

-Ward
