[R-sig-Geo] problem while creating netcdf files

[Edzer Pebesma]

Tom, this library seems not to be available for windows users. I tried
installing on ubuntu 12.4 LTS, but the netcdf-dev version in this distro
seems too old (4.1.1-6) and no nc-config is available.

Installing netcdf 4.2 from source gave me the following error message:

nc4file.c: In function 'nc4_create_file':
nc4file.c:279:38: error: 'H5F_LIBVER_18' undeclared (first use in this
function)
nc4file.c:279:38: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once
for each function it appears in
make[2]: *** [libnetcdf4_la-nc4file.lo] Error 1

Searching for the error message gave me one hit, which didn't help me
out. Any ideas?
