[netCDF #UYK-674261]: nf_open run time error

Hello Carlos,

I'm glad you were able to successfully install the netCDF library.  I'm 
unfamiliar with WRF-Chem, but I will try to help you as best that I can.

I have two thoughts.  First, are you able to write, compile and run a simple 
test program which uses netCDF-Fortran?  It needn't do anything useful; it 
would only serve to determine if the issue is specific to WRF-Chem, or if it is 
an issue in the environment which needs to be addressed.

Second, it may be that you need to modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental 
variable at runtime to point to `/usr/local/lib`; whether or not this is 
required varies by Linux distribution, but you might try setting that 
environmental variable and seeing if the issue persists.

Once we know whether or not this is an environmental issue, we can figure out 
the next steps.  Also, you might try reaching out to the WRF-Chem support 
staff, as they may have a better idea what the fix will be.

I hope this helps,

-Ward
