[netCDF #HWN-721444]: installing netcdf4

Hi Raul,

> I have zlib and HDF5 installed. Then, within the netcdf source file, I run:
> 
> raul@raul-ubuntu:~/Downloads/netcdf-4.0$ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
> CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure --enable-netcdf-4 --enable-dap
> --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local --with-hdf5=/usr/local
> --with-zlib=/usr/local
> 
> which seems to finish normally. However, after running make I get:
> 
> libtool: compile:  cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../fortran -I../libsrc
> -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -MT
> nc4hdf.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/nc4hdf.Tpo -c nc4hdf.c -o nc4hdf.o >/dev/null
> 2>&1
> make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../libnc-dap/libnc-dap.la', needed by `

First, if you are trying to build netCDF version 4.0 (an old version from June 
2008)
from source, please start with a newer version, such as the current release of
netCDF-C, version 4.3.2. Many problems have been fixed since netCDF 4.0, 
including
bug, portability problems, and performance problems.

Also, if you can use a prebuilt version of netCDF for Ubuntu, you can get it 
from
Ubuntu package management sites and save yourself the trouble of building from
source.

Otherwise, the instructions for building the netCDF-C library, either using 
configure 
or cmake, are here:

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

You can still use the HDF5 and zlib you have installed in /usr/local/, assuming
they are recent enough. If you have problems with a recent netCDF source
distribution, please send the config.log file produced by running configure
(or the output from running cmake), so we can diagnose the problem.

Thanks!
