[Wrf-users] NetCDF paths

Hi,

Different distros often move around the stuff that goes in dev (devel)
packages, e.g. headers or static libraries. There is less deviation
with shared libraries, but still sometimes they are also kept under
subdirectiories, rather than in /usr/lib64, for example, mpich on red
hats is in /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/ and will also fail with simple
-lmpich linking. So, *manual* adjustment of paths can't be fully
avoided, there are too many different situations. It should be better
to make configure script to perform some basic search and prompt for
input if one of multiple variants can be used. Also, ./configure can
use pkg-config to locate dependencies, if package provides .pc info.
