Michael:  You're missing the hdf5 library.  You should be able to 
install that (along with the netcdf version 4 library) using the Ubuntu 
package manager. I don't know what the relevant package names are.

See the docs at netcdf4-python.googlecode.com for installation 
instructions (including how to install the dependencies).

You can also file a help request there and I'll see it (since this is 
not really a basemap issue).
