Folks,

Small errata to my notes.
In order to get complete NetCDF environment installed on Ubuntu,
you need to install package named netcdfg-dev along libnetcdf3.

The package name is inconsistent for Debian world and I expected to find
libnetcdf-dev instead, so it's easy to miss it :-)

Summarizing, you need libnetcdf3 + netcdfg-dev

Cheers
