Hi John: Sorry, in haste I did not update the README.
You need a recent version of HDF5 installed when you install netcdf-4
in order to get the recent netcdf 4 capabilities.
So, what I did was download HDF5:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.8.3.tar.gz
and compile and install it in (say) /usr/local
then download netcdf-4.0:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/ftp/netcdf-4.0.1.tar.gz
and compile and install it. There is a configure flag you need to set:
./configure --with-hdf5=/usr/local --prefix=/usr/local
Finally, install PDL-NetCDF:
export NETCDF_EXTRALIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -lz'
export NETCDF_INCDIR=/usr/local/include
export NETCDF_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib
perl Makefile.PL

Hello Doug, Heiko,
I've tried building the recent PDL-NetCDF module using the NetCDF4 and
HDF5 libraries, but I've never gotten it to produce a true/nonzero value
for "PDL::NetCDF::isNetcdf4" ... or to read a NetCDF4 file.
It compiles cleanly, but without NetCDF4 capability.
Is there more to the build procedure than what's in the README file?
Thanks.

I've just received a contribution from a user of a patch to
PDL::NetCDF to add netCDF-4 support. I've yet to test it out,
but this will probably mean basic netCDF-4 support will be
available in PDL::NetCDF within a few weeks.
I read the above with great interest. Do you have a time
estimate for releasing the PDL NetCDF-4 support?
Thanks.
