Although an alpha release is currently available for downloading, it's
not installed on the SCD machines. I'm not sure how much effort it
would take to install it there. I would recommend waiting for the
next alpha release, which will be available within the next month. As
Ed said on the netcdfgroup mailing list this morning:
For developers of netCDF-4, the thing to do is to download the next
alpha release, which I will put out (and announce) this month. That
alpha release will use very few netCDF-4 artifacts in the file, and
will be very close to the beta.
The alpha releases can be used to start programming for some of the new
features, like groups and compound types, but should not be used to
store any real data.
