Andrew,
You went even further than me. I'm trying to the same on OSX but I am  
not even able to convince it that I have hdf on board. I built HDF4  
and installed it at /usr/local. That resulted in two static libs  
libdf.a and libmfhdf.a (strange, on windows there are a couple more of  
dlls).

Now
./configure --with-netcdf --with-hdf4=/usr/local

results in:

configure: error: HDF4 support requested with arg /usr/local, but  
neither hdf4 nor mfhdf lib found

but libmfhdf.a as well as the netcdf libraries are there.

Not requesting a build with HDF works ok.
