The version are the following;  VTK 6.3.0, netcdf 4.3.3.1, netcdf-cxx
4.2 and hdf5 1.18.15 on ArchLinux.

When compiling with system NetCDF the following error appears:

Found HDF5:
/usr/lib64/libhdf5.so;/usr/lib64/libhdf5_hl.so;/usr/lib64/libhdf5.so;/usr/lib64/libz.so;/usr/lib64/libdl.so;/usr/lib64/libm.so;/usr/lib64/libhdf5_hl.so;/usr/lib64/libhdf5.so;/usr/lib64/libhdf5_hl.so;/usr/lib64/libhdf5.so;/usr/lib64/libz.so;/usr/lib64/libdl.so;/usr/lib64/libm.so
(found version "1.8.15")

And when using system HDF and NetCDF from the thirdparty, NetCDF is
disabled whereas HDF5 is properly found before :
-- Disabling NETCDF4 support since HDF5_HL or HDF5_hdf5_hl is missing.
