[MITgcm-support] auto turning off of netCDF

[Patrick Heimbach]

Hi Ed,

I had that same experience,
my point no. 1 in the mail I sent you yesteray.

Basically, genmake2 says,
>   Due to this failure, the "mnc" package is now DISABLED.
but then doesn't turn it off.

I am pasting my mail again here:

> I'm just trying to run ./testreport -t dic_example
> (of which I know it uses mnc).
> I am getting the following warning:
