 It is recommended that you install all libraries in the same location (using the --prefix=/your/directory/here when calling the configure script).
 For WRF to correctly find those libraries, you need to set the HDF5 & NETCDF environmental variables to point to the directory (which includes the bin, lib, include directories) where those libraries are installed.
