Right, you should be able to compile applications with the newly
installed libraries or use the ncdump/ncgen utilities.  For linking
other utilities that use netcdf, just remember they have all been
installed in /usr/local/, so you'll need to use compiler flags like
-I/usr/local/include and linker flags like -L/usr/local/lib ...
