That's the correct library file but "-lnetcdf" might not be enough: the "-L..."
option is usually also used in order to specify the containing directory. For
example:
LD_NETCDF="-L/cygdrive/c/strawberry/lib -lnetcdf" ./configure ...
>configure.log 2>&1
The directory containing the netCDF header-file can be similarly specified:
CPP_NETCDF=-I/cygdrive/c/strawberry/include
LD_NETCDF="-L/cygdrive/c/strawberry/lib -lnetcdf" ./configure ...
>configure.log 2>&1
The above 2 commands assume that you use a standard shell. If you one with
csh(1) syntax, then the CPP_NETCDF and LD_NETCDF variables have to be set as
environment variables (or in the CUSTOMIZE file).
Be sure to execute the command "make distclean" before re-executing the
configure(1) script.
