[netCDF #TFE-190602]: NetCDF Install



Hi Dan,

Installing the netCDF-C library works the same on OSX as any other platform.
You can use either the configure script or cmake:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html

You have to install HDF5 first.

Installing netCDF-Fortran on OSX is a little trickier, because the OSX
developer tools don't come with a Fortran compiler, so you have to first
install one comaptible with the C compiler you'll be using.  If you use
MacPorts, I think you can just use "port netcdf-fortran" and it will
handle all the dependencies.  Some people have also reported success with
HomeBrew.  For building netCDF-Fortran from source yourself, follow these
instructions:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/building_netcdf_fortran.html

They mention using DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH for OSX
builds.
