Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

[netcdfgroup] Suggestion - make nc-config a wrapper for pkgconfig

The nc-config script as it is now written is not "multiarch" compatible. Meaning that a version compiled for 32-bit is different that a version for 64-bit due to /usr/lib -> /usr/lib64 differences. The way most projects get around this is to call pkg-config because the .pc file gets installed in an arch dependent location.
Sample patch attached. We'd need to get pkg-config to support --flibs perhaps?
