[CIG-SHORT] NetCDF error when attempting to build git version

[Brad Aagaard]

Eric,

It looks like the linker is unable to create the NetCDF shared library. 
You need to examine the error message to see what the linkiner is 
complaining about. Feel free to send the error message.

At the bottom of the INSTALL file, there are some notes on manually 
patching libtool (this will be at the top-level of the build directory 
for NetCDF) so that the NetCDF shared library can be built. The notes 
are a bit cryptic, so let me know if they need more explanation.

Regards,
Brad
