[MITgcm-support] netcdf output

[Jaime Palter]

Hello,

Please excuse the message I just sent that was empty of new information.
It was a slip of a few key strokes.

I meant to write with a question about an error message produced when I
run genmake.  It seems that genmake can't find the file mnc_id_header.h
(and neither can I--it doesn't seem to exist).

Is this file supposed to be created on the fly? If so, how can we ensure
that it does so?

Thanks so much,
Jaime
