If you build netcdf from source, the resulting libraries
should already exhibit this behavior.  It is possible
that whoever is setting up the RPM is not properly
using shared libraries.

So I notice that on some of my netCDF installations from RPMs if you 
link against libnetcdf_c++ that it will automatically link to libnetcdf 
also.  Would it be possible to get the same behavior from the hdf5 
libraries when/if netCDF is being built against hdf5?
My case for this is that software we distribute which depends upon 
netCDF but not HDF5 does not know whether the target system has the HDF5 
build of netCDF or not (sorry I am not sophisticated enough to use 
autoconfig at this time).  So the user will have to tweak Makefile / 
SConscript files to either add or delete the -lhdf5.
e.g. ncplot does not require hdf5, but when UWyo downloads the source 
and builds they may have to tweak the Makefile for -lhdf5 depending on 
which netCDF version they have.
So, is what I am asking for possible?  Am I making sense?
Thanks,
Chris
