Hi Brian,

I suspect that this is a version issue: NetCDF-Java requires NetCDF-C v4.3.1+ 
in order to write NetCDF-4 files. Can you confirm that you're using a 
recent-enough version?

Failing that, it would be helpful to turn JNA debugging on so that we can get 
some feedback about why the lib couldn't be loaded. Try running NetCDF-Java 
with "-Djna.debug_load=true". Hopefully that will reveal which lib JNA is 
attempting to load: the one in /usr/local/lib or the one in /usr/lib.

Also, FYI, the preferred way to load NetCDF-C on Linux is to use the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable [1]. However, that's not likely to matter 
in this instance because you installed in the standard linux location 
(/usr/local/lib), which JNA checks as a last resort.

Cheers,
Christian
