[netCDF #NTL-246975]: 'lib' directory not found in netCDF-4.3.0 'C' install

Hi Ravi,

What you're looking at is not a binary installation, but a source distribution 
of
the netCDF C library, version 4.3.0.  In order to convert that into an 
installation,
you have to configure it, specifying where it should be installed, then build 
it with
a C compiler, then install it, as described here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/building.html

After the C library is installed, you can install netCDF Fortran by following 
these
instructions:

If instead you want a binary installation, they're available for some platforms
through package management systems such as dpkg, yum, macports, etc.
