Hi Riema,

Lucas is right.  When you change the list of packages you need to
recompile.  And when you recompile genmake2 will emit a warning and
default back to MDSIO if it is unable to locate the necessary NetCDF
headers and libraries (or if it can locate them but cannot build test
programs using them).

Some past emails from the MITgcm-support archive talk about the NetCDF
install process and using MNC and perhaps they will help you:

  http://mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-support/2004-September/002589.html
  http://mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-support/2005-January/002800.html

Also, there are examples of how to set the NetCDF INCLUDE and LIBS
information within the "optfiles" at:

  MITgcm/tools/build_options

   [e.g. "grep -i netcdf MITgcm/tools/build_options/*"]

Hope that helps!
Ed
