nc_inq_libs returns something like <3.5.1 of Mar 17 2009 16:51:32> ('<' and '>'
characters _not_ included).

2009 16:51:32> ('<' and '>' characters still not included). Same kind of string
for 3.6.2.

Thanks for pointing this out. I have removed the quotes. (They only appear for
builds without --enable-netcdf-4).

Thanks,
