[netCDF #KLD-692686]: configure: error: Can't find or link to the szlib library

Greetings Wolfgang,

It seems as though I left out one important step. After you change 
configure.ac, you will need to run the following command:

autoreconf -i

(no input argument)

This will propagate the changes made in configure.ac to the other files 
associated with building netCDF. If you don't have autoreconf, you will need to 
install autoconf.

Cheers,

Sean
