[netCDF #BXR-962926]: Installing NetCDF library with HDF4 support

Sorry for the delay.
The first thing to do is to locate mfhdf.h.
Can you see if it actually exists in ${H4DIR}/include?
If not, see if you can find where it is installed.
You might try this series of commands.
    cd /usr; find . -name mfhdf.h

> $ ./configure --enable-shared --disable-netcdf --disable-fortran
> --prefix=${H4DIR}
> $ make check
> $ make install

> LDFLAGS="-L${H5DIR}/lib -L${H4DIR}/lib" \
> ./configure --enable-hdf4 --enable-hdf4-file-tests
