[netCDF #ISU-143412]: help compiling netCDF4 in mac os x Lion

Greetings David!

netCDF uses Oxygen to generate the documentation files. The error you see:

> Doxyfile
> make[2]: Doxyfile: No such file or directory

indicates that you don't have Doxygen installed on your system, which isn't 
really a show stopper (however, there are Mac binaries for Doxygen if you are 
interested). You can build and use netCDF without issue if you like (that's how 
I do it) - just pass configure the --disable-doxygen flag

 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netCDF4 --disable-doxygen flag

and you should be good to go! Just make sure to use

make clean

before reconfiguring / rebuilding.

Cheers,

Sean
