Hello there,
first of all, building serial netCDF on Ubuntu 12.10 works fine.
Therefore I installed the packages libhdf5-dev and libhdf5-7 1.8.8-9.
All tests pass through.
Well, in INSTALL.cmake lines 72 and 90 are wrong. They should better
read as
cmake ./ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local ...
instead of
./cmake
In addition between lines 72-73 and 90-91 a 'make' is missing.
In contrast to serial netCDF, I can not build netCDF with parallel I/O
support. Both CMake and ./configure complain that there is no hdf5.h
header file.
Let me explain first what I have done so far. The packages libhdf5-dev
and libhdf5-7 got replaced by there MPI counterparts. That are
libhdf5-openmpi-dev and libhdf5-openmpi-7 also version 1.8.8-9.
After that I tried to run
CC=mpicc.openmpi cmake . -DENABLE_PARALLEL=ON
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/local/
Unfortunately the output is:

Well, HDF5 with parallel IO support is installed. Why doesn't cmake
(2.8.9) as well as the configure script find it? Any ideas?
Actually, there is again a mistake in the INSTALL.cmake. Line 119 by
accident has '..' instead of './'. In addition the 'make' command is
missing between lines 119 and 120.
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Stefan
Btw. I previously built netCDF 4.2.1.1 successfully on precisely that
environment and machine.
