Jose,

I'm not sure, but I reproduced the same error message about "cdfid".  I
don't think I'll have time to build the netcdf libraries in debug and
track through to see what is happening today, so I'd appreciate it if you
could file a bug in the GDAL bugzilla about the issue.  You might note
in the bug that is also occurs "on Frank's Ubuntu system using the packaged
libnetcdf" as a reminder to me, or Mateusz.

I vaguely suspect some sort of hdf4/netcdf problems but I'm not sure.

In the meantime, it appears that the FWTools for linux build for netcdf
is working for me.

Best regards,
