Hello I'm trying to install the "ncdf" package on a Ubuntu 10.04 laptop. Can you offer suggestions to install this package?

Looks like you need the netCDF libraries. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcdf suggests that you need both the binary and a -dev package with headers. The ncdf binaries on Windows and Mac have been specially built to include the netCDF libraries, but the source package doesn't include them. -thomas
