Hi Nicolas,

Basically, you just need to build and install netcdf (the headers and
libraries) for your compiler.  The latest version of netcdf is available
at:

  http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/index.html
  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-3.6.0-p1.tar.gz   <===

and some specific build instruction for your platform (which I think is
a Mac with the IBM xlf compiler, right?) are available at:

  http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/docs/other-
builds.html#macosx-xlf

which includes an install script.
