[netCDF #BHZ-636157]: having problem generating static .a file

Hello,

By default, both shared and static libraries are enabled; unless you are 
explicitly passing '--disable-static', the .a file will be generated.  In the 
source tree, the libnetcdf.a file will be found in the liblib/.libs/ directory. 
 After running 'make install', however, you will find the libnetcdf.a file in 
the libs/ directory contained within the installation directory specified.  

I hope this helps,
