Assuming you are running on linux, the package managers usually install into '/usr' or '/usr/local'. To see which, look for the file '/usr/include/netcdf.h' which means netcdf was installed in '/usr'. If instead, the file '/usr/local/include/netcdf.h' exists, then netcdf was installed into '/usr/local'. One you know that, try setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. If netcdf was installed into '/usr' then do this command: > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib;$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" If netcdf was installed into '/usr/local' then do this command: > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib;$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" > I found it really difficult to install.
