I am aware that what I was asking for would not work for static libs.
Specifically what I found was that if I ran "ldd
/usr/lib/libnetcdf_c++.so", some installations would list libnetcdf.so
as a dependency, and others would not:
Fedora 10 and the rpmforge/epel RHEL5 did not list libnetcdf.so. The
RPMs we build and Fedora 11 did list libnetcdf.so. Perhaps F10, and
epel did not have the --enabled-shared on.
The RPMs we build did not list hdf5 as a dependency. Here is our configure:
%configure --enable-netcdf-4 \
--enable-shared \
--enable-extra-example-tests \
--enable-valgrind-tests
230% ldd libnetcdf_c++.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00d2f000)
libnetcdf.so.6 => /usr/lib/libnetcdf.so.6 (0x008de000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00633000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x0053c000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00d8e000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00fdf000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00348000)
Thanks,

Dennis pointed out that if the target system was built from the latest
source with --enable-shared, then the shared netCDF library is supposed
to link to the HDF5 libraries, if needed.
However, using the nc-config utility may work for what you have in mind,
even if the target system has a static build of netCDF libraries.
