Hello All,

I'm trying to compile netcdf-4.1.3 on RHEL6 and getting the following error 
during the build.  
Omitting the   "--with-libcf" option allows the build and test to succeed.

Here's my compile statement:

export CFLAGS="-fPIC -I$CONTRIB/hdf5-1.8.7/include"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$CONTRIB/hdf5-1.8.7/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L$CONTRIB/hdf5-1.8.7/lib"

./configure \
  --prefix=${CONTRIB}/netcdf-4.1.3 \
  --enable-netcdf-4 \
  --enable-cxx-4 \
  --enable-logging \
  --disable-dap \
  --disable-fortran \
  --with-udunits \
  --with-hdf5=${CONTRIB}/hdf5-1.8.7 \
  --with-zlib \
  --enable-shared \
  --with-libcf 

and here's the error:
...

I'm assuming that the libcf option is expecting a path and getting a default 
value of "yes".  Is 
this option currently supported?  Is the libcf library need to be installed 
separately?  I only see 
an alpha version - is that correct?

Thanks!
