[netCDF #TPP-606554]: Getting the NetCDF files to compile Scientific Python for Python 2.6 an esri installation of python

Joseph,

There is a netcdf.h included with each of the zip files available for download
from the link I referred to:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/faq.html#windows_netcdf4

The zip files were for two different styles of Fortran calling C conventions,
so if you're not using Fortran, it probably doesn't matter which you use:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/win32_vs_PGI_dll_4.0.1.zip
  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/win32_vs_f2c_dll_4.0.1.zip

If you use one of those, you also need the other 3 zip files mentioned for
zlib, hdf5, and szlib also available from the Unidata FTP site.

The 4.x dll is a drop-in replacement for the netcdf-3 dll, so there is no
need to build a netcdf-3 dll from the old netcdf-3 sources.
