NetCDF is a set of software libraries and self-describing, machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.

netcdf compiled using intel compilers

prequisites : zlib and HDF5

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install/Quick-Instructions.html#Quick-Instructions

zlib

module load library/zlib/1.2.5

cd /sw/library/netcdf/src-netcdf-4.1.3/src-zlib
wget ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz

Build zlib like this:
 mkdir -p /sw/library/zlib/1.2.5
cd /sw/library/netcdf/src-netcdf-4.1.3/src-zlib/zlib-1.2.5

 ./configure --prefix=/sw/library/zlib/1.2.5  2>&1 |tee configure_log_zlib.txt
 make check install 2>&1 |tee make_check_log_zlib.txt

HDF5

module load library/hdf5/1.8.7

cd /sw/library/netcdf/src-netcdf-4.1.3/src-hdf5
wget ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4/hdf5-1.8.7.tar.gz
tar -zxvf hdf5-1.8.7.tar.gz
module load library/zlib/1.2.5

cd /sw/library/netcdf/src-netcdf-4.1.3/src-hdf5/hdf5-1.8.7
Then you build HDF5, specifying the location of the zlib library:
