Oops, the function nc_inq_typeid() used by that example was not added
until after version 4.0.1 was released.  If you try building with the
current release (4.1.1) or any subsequent release, that function is
included.

If you're going to use 4.1.1 or later, you could also just use the
ncdump/nccopy.c source for the nccopy utility included with that
release.
