[netCDF #NFI-982086]: netcdf4 and NCO

Howdy David,

Take a look at the config.log file and see what error messages it is getting, 
and how it is trying to link to the netCDF library. In general, whenever there 
is a problem in configure, look at config.log to get much more output and 
information.

Thanks,

Ed
