The log seems fine to me:

"""
     changing mode of /usr/local/bin/nctoh5 to 755
     changing mode of /usr/local/bin/ptdump to 755
     changing mode of /usr/local/bin/ptrepack to 755
Successfully installed tables
Cleaning up...
"""

why are you saying that the installation did not work?

Anyway, the only suspicios thing that I have found in your log file is 
that HDF5 headers and libraries are in different directories:

* Found HDF5 headers at ``/usr/include``, library at ``/usr/local/lib``.

This is not grave, but do you have an explanation for this?
