for development he needs the dev packages:
libhdf5-devel and libnetcdf-devel

pay attention that I upgraded hdf5 to 1.8.8
while netcdf-4.1.1-2 was built against 1.8.6 so there could be
a compatibility problem if both are really needed  at the same time.

I will look to upgrade netcdf to 4.1.3 with hdf5-1.8.8
