[MINC-users] Problems installing MINC from source...

[Robert VINCENT]

Yves,

If you copied this in literally, somehow the flag:

-L/usr/local/mni/include

is present on the failing gcc command line.  It's a -L instead of a -I,
and so the compiler could not find netcdf.h.  Could it be that the
CPPFLAGS value was set incorrectly when you ran ./configure?
