Greetings Wolfgang,

It seems that the issue is that the compiler is trying to link to libszip 
(-lszip) rather than libsz (-lsz). I'll need to figure our why configure is 
using the -lszip flag rather than -lsz.

As a quick fix, try the following in the top level directory of your netCDF 
build (do a make clean first):

sed -i -e 's/\[szip\]/\[sz\]/' configure.ac

Then, re-configure and rebuild to see what happens.

Cheers!

Sean
