[MITgcm-support] Loading Netcdf libraries for MITGCM

[Martin Losch]

If the netcdf libaries are in an unusual place you need to tell the model where they are. Depending on which build options file you are using you can either hardwire this in the build options file and set the variables:

    INCLUDES='-I/yourPath/include'
    LIBS='-L/yourPath/lib’

or similar, or you may be able to set the environment variable NETCDF_ROOT, NETCDF_HOME, etc before you run gemake2. Have a look at your optfile (e.g. tools/build_options/linux_amd64_gfortran) so see how to do it.
