Unconditionally requiring HDF5 for NetCDF isn't an option because we still
support older versions of NetCDF that do not depend on HDF5.  Also, there is
already some logic later in that script that is meant to handle the HDF5
dependency that newer versions of NetCDF have.  But it looks like it might
not work correctly if the HDF5 libraries are not in the default search path.
 I think it should be sufficient to add only $HDF5_LDFLAGS to the above
line.  Does that work for you?

Fixed.  Thanks.
