[ncl-install] addfile and HDF5 library version mismatch

[Madeline Miller]

Hello,

I just installed NCL on a Linux Red Hat workstation. I used the pre-compiled
binary ncl_ncarg-6.0.0.Linux_RedHat_x86_64_nodap_gcc412.tar, which matches
my architecture and version of gcc.

I ran all the tests under the download instructions and they all worked
fine.  Then, I tried opening a .nc file in NCL using the command
in=addfile("filename.nc","r").

I created the .nc file using MATLAB on my Linux workstation, and am able to
read it on my Mac laptop using another version of NCL installed there.

However, on my Linux workstation it returns:


Warning! ***HDF5 library version mismatched error***
The HDF5 header files used to compile this application do not match
the version used by the HDF5 library to which this application is linked.
Data corruption or segmentation faults may occur if the application
continues.
This can happen when an application was compiled by one version of HDF5 but
linked with a different version of static or shared HDF5 library.
You should recompile the application or check your shared library related
settings such as 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'.
You can, at your own risk, disable this warning by setting the environment
variable 'HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK' to a value of '1'.
Setting it to 2 or higher will suppress the warning messages totally.
Headers are 1.8.5, library is 1.8.6
