[netCDF #INK-865870]: Quick question about NetCDF library v4.1.1 and RH 6.3

Hi Fernando,

No, but the current version 4.3.0 has bug fixes and performance improvements
developed since the release of version 4.1.1.

NetCDF has no known operating-system dependencies on particular versions 
of Linux.  You might want to ensure that "make check" works OK with all the
tests included with the netCDF source release that was built for your
customer's RH 6.3 release.  Some users just run "make all install" without
running "make check".  An error discovered with "make check" can sometimes
point to a problem with the build, such as mismatched headers and libraries.
