Hi Richard,

Thank you for supplying all the details for how to do it.

I'd like to make your note available to others who ask about porting netCDF
to Linux and making shared libraries, if that's OK with you.

I think the best way to do this would be to list Linux with the the other
systems in the answer to the "What Does netCDF Run On?" question in the
netCDF FAQ, with a link to your note for details.  See

  <URL:http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/faq.html#platforms>

Please let me know if this needs changing, or if you would rather have your
name or e-mail address deleted from the note.  Thanks.
