I also had the problem yesterday with a recent snapshot that CDFLIBS was
not set even though the configure checks found the cdf header and lib,
and the datasource was compiled. I haven't had time to investigate
though...

Apparently, the netcdf distribution does not provide an easy way to
compile a shared library. I added the -fPIC flag to CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS
manually at configure time, and generated the .so manually (there is
actually some help in one of the makefiles, like "make shared_library"
in the right directory, but it does not recompile with -fPIC). However,
I believe the -lnetcdf switch in the link command will use the .a lib if
there isn't any .so, and that should also work. Or am I wrong ?
