 Macports' buildbot.

 I guess you mean this? https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10
 .5_ppc_legacy-builder/builds/26194/steps/install-dependencies/logs/stdio

 > I had removed hdf5 from the dependency list in the Portfile
 (depends_lib), since it is already required by netcdf. Could this possibly
 be the cause of the build failure?

 `netcdf` can technically be built without `hdf5` support. The `+netcdf4`
 (which is enabled by default) add `hdf5` support. The `ncview` port checks
 for `+netcdf4` which is how we check for dependency variants. I think your
 error is because on this ancient machine `hdf5` can't be built at all. Not
 much you can do about that.
