Hi Marc,

those packages are just interfaces to the netcdf library that must already
exist on your machine. Try installing the netcdf library first, and then
installing the R package.

You will need the development version of the netcdf library installed in
order to compile the R packages. Hopefully the exact package name will be
obvious in the package manager on your system.

Regards,

--Dave
