This looks like you've got minc2 file , and the library that you
installed supports only minc1.

The easy way to check is to use file command, minc1 will be of type
"NetCDF Data Format data" and minc2 will show "Hierarchical Data
Format (version 5) data". You can convert between formats using
mincconvert command.
