Hello Even, To answer your question regarding zlib and HDF5; yes, you should install these first. NetCDF will search for them, and if they aren't found, will not build without additional steps. Full instructions for building netcdf may be found at the following address: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html If there is anything on this page which gives you trouble or is unclear, please don't hesitate to ask any questions!
