Hi Richard

I haven't built netcdf for BG/P compute nodes (just the login nodes),
but for the  netCDF-3 series, it is probably not so different from
pnetcdf; (minus the requirement for MPI)

http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/parallel-netcdf/browser/trunk/README.bgp

Building netCDF-4 might be a bit harder, but if you managed to build
HDF5-1.8 on BlueGene/P, then you're more than halfway there I bet.
