Hi,

I haven't tested much on Linux beyond Ubuntu 12.04, but we have seen
some weird behavior with the netcdf build system on machines where the
'm4' package is not installed.

If you go through the configure/make logs for netcdf carefully, you
may see an error to the effect "m4 not found"?

A workaround which seemed to fix the problem for us is to 'apt-get
install m4', clean out the build directory, and try again.

It's a bummer that the netcdf package seems to require m4... it really
shouldn't.  Seems like a bug in their build system.
