Hi Dmitri

I just tried to install netcdf package for octave in a new computer, and got the following error:

As you can see the missing library is in /usr/local/netcdf/lib  ????

machine:  hp z210, OS Ubuntu 15.10 Octave 4.4.4

I already have the netcdf installed and running on my machine:
ls /usr/local/netcdf/lib
libnetcdf.a  libnetcdff.a  libnetcdff.la  libnetcdf.la  libnetcdf.settings  pkgconfig

​I think you need to install shared libraries​.

Regardless you should tell us what kind of computer system do you have, how did you
install octave etc...

​FWIW netcdf installs fine on Fedora 23:

​octave:1> pkg load netcdf
octave:2> test_netcdf
Using NetCDF library version "4.3.3.1 of Aug 16 2015 15:07:34 $"
run test_netcdf_constant..............   OK  
run test_netcdf_create................   OK  
run test_netcdf_low_level_interface...   OK  
run test_netcdf_unlim.................   OK  
run test_netcdf_datatypes.............   OK  
run test_netcdf_scalar_variable.......   OK  
run test_netcdf_attributes............   OK  
run test_netcdf_high_level_interface..   OK  
run test_netcdf_ncwriteschema.........   OK  
run test_netcdf_ncwriteschema_unlim...   OK  
run test_netcdf_ncwriteschema_chunking   OK  
run test_netcdf_ncwriteschema_group...   OK

Dmitri.
