[vox-tech] Fwd: [netCDF #QCY-964177]: netcdf - 4.0.1 problems

[Jason Snyder]

I have my own machine, which is a toshiba laptop.  I believe that i am
installing netcdf through compiling since I have to use make files to
install netcdf.  I don't get any actual errors but I do not have all the
files I need including netcdf.include
