To build and install netCDF, you need to read and follow the
instructions in the INSTALL file in the netcdf-3.3.1/src/ directory.

In particular, you need to run the "configure" script before trying to
run "make", because the "configure" script generates some files, such as
"macros.make", that are used by "make".

Running the "configure" script determines what compilers are available
and figures out various other configuration parameters needed to build
the package.
