[netCDF #SHR-833140]: Compile Error

Hello Matthew,

We'll be fixing this ambiguous error in the upcoming release; our apologies!

There are a couple of possibilities.  First, and less likely; it's possible 
that the hdf5 library netCDF-C is linked against does not have `szip` support.  
If this is the case, you will need to install libhdf5 with szip support, before 
reinstalling the C library. After this, the error should resolve itself.

Alternatively, and more likely, the C library was built as a static library, 
not a shared library.  In this case, you will need to specify the CFLAGS and 
LDFLAGS environmental variables so that the compiler knows how to find and link 
against the libnetcdf.a dependencies.  You should be able to do this as 
follows, when configuring netCDF-Fortran:

    $ CFLAGS="$(nc-config --cflags)" LDFLAGS="$(nc-config --libs)" ./configure 
[any other options you were using]

I hope this helps!
