Howdy!
It's a bit confusing to work with two packages, but there is no beta4
of netCDF 4.0. There has only been one netCDF-4 beta release.
The HDF5-1.8.0-beta4 release contains many changes and a few known
issues. Until the issues are resolved it will not work with netCDF-4.
To build netCDF-4, get the netCDF-4 snapshot release here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/builds/snapshot/netcdf-4/
Also get the HDF5 release on that page (which is a pre-beta4 snapshot
of HDF5 which works with netCDF-4). Then build according to the
instructions here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/netcdf-4/newdocs/netcdf-install/Quick-Instructions.html
The HDF5 team have already been notified of the issues in beta4, and
they will be issuing a beta5 release sometime in the next few weeks to
correct them. At that time, netCDF-4 will be tested with their beta
release.
Thanks!
