[netCDF #BJR-880663]: Linking to cpp NetCDF4 on MacOS fails with ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

Hello,

It looks like the issue might be how the file was built via macports.  Is it 
possible to tell macports to install packages from source? This would cause the 
C++ interface to be built with the tools you are using on your MBP, which could 
potentially resolve the inconsistencies being observed between the runtime that 
the binary was built against, versus the compiler and runtime you are using 
locally.
