Hello,
The option you are passing, NETCDF_C_LIBRARY, when invoking cmake, is passing a
directory and not a library itself. It would more properly look as follows:
`-DNETCDF_C_LIBRARY=/usr/local/Cellar/netcdf/4.7.0/lib/[name of netcdf
library]`
Alternatively, you could try removing the `NETCDF_C_LIBRARY` option altogether,
and instead use:
`-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/netcdf/4.7.0`
I hope this helps, have a great day!
