Thanks Dan,
I will follow your suggestion, I will install netCDF but I have two  
further question:

1)Following the instruction in the netCDF downloaded foldere I read:

./configure --prefix=/home/ed/local --disable-netcdf-4
make check i
nstall

What path(/home/ed/local ) should I set on osx??

2)Why with the older version of R I haven't had no problem??

I there a  way in osx to upadate R without to re-install all and not  
installing the GUI app such as in linux??
