Dear Soon-Young,

It looks like HDF-4 wasn't built correctly for what NCL needs.

If you don't already HDF4.2r2 or HDF4.2r3, then please download one of
these versions and then follow the instructions here:

    http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/build_from_src.shtml#HDF-4

You need to compile with the "--disable-netcdf" option so that the HDF
build doesn't try to build its own version of the NetCDF software.

If you already had one of these versions, and just need to rebuild HDF
with the above option, make sure you type:

    make distclean

first so that it builds from scratch.
