David,

The netCDF library, libnetcdf.a, is not a sharable library, but, rather, a
static one. You must link against this library (which is typically installed
in the netcdf/lib directory) when you develop your programs. Without
going into how to develop routines, I can tell you that you would typically
add an -I and -L flag to your makefile so that the compiler and linker
can find the netCDF include file, netcdf.h, and library, libnetcdf.a,
respectively.
