Yes, that's all the executables installed by netCDF 4.3.2.

> usr/local/lib
> libnetcdf.la
> libnetcdf.so
> libnetcdf.so.7
> libnetcdf.so.7.2.0

Yup, that's all that's needed for the netCDF-C library.  However, our
netcdf-4.3.2 installation also has a subdirectory named pkgconfig/
with the file pkgconfig/netcdf.pc that gets installed if your system
has the pkg-config software installed (see the Wikipedia entry).  It's
not necessary, just a convenience for other software that depends
on netCDF and uses pkg-config to find out how to link with it.

> usr/local/include
> netcdf.h

Yes, that's the only include file installed.

By default, the man page documentation is also installed in 
/usr/local/share/man/{man1,man3} on our Linux systems.

Just having those directories and files installed in /usr/local 
doesn't tell you whether the libraries and utility programs were
built and configured right for your use.  For example, if you
need features of netCDF-4 such as compression and chunking, 
then HDF5 must have bee installed and the netCDF libraries
must have been built with HDF5-support.  You could determine
this most easily by just running the program

  /usr/local/bin/nc-config --has-hdf5

which should output "yes", and similarly for determining whether
it was built with support for DAP, the data access protocol that
makes it possible to access netCDF data from remote DAP servers

  /usr/local/bin/nc-config --has-dap

should return "yes".  You can see everything supported by using --all.
