[netCDF #WZP-605301]: NetCDF installation error

Hello,

Unfortunately, netCDF 3.6.3 is quite old and not currently supported.  I am 
also not able to install it on OSX Mojave.  You may need to reach out to the 
ROMS maintainer and ask if they have updated instructions for a modern version 
of netCDF (current version is netCDF 4.7.1 for the core C library, and netCDF 
4.5.2 for the Fortran interface).

I'm sorry I can't provide a more immediately actionable solution, but I hope 
this helps.

Have a good day,

-Ward
