Hi Jon,

This can occur for several reasons:
- libnetcdf.so.0.0.0 might be a 32-bit library when your application
needs 64-bit or vice-versa. You can determine this with the
"file" command.
- You may need to use libtool or specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
LD_RUN_PATH or have the system library path configured to include
/opt/local/lib.
Here's the explanation and description of what to try from the output
of "make install" when you're installing shared libraries:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
/opt/local/lib
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
