Howdy Karsten!

Probably you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/netcdf4/lib.

When using shared libraries, it's not enough to specify library location
in the LDFLAGS, you must also set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The way to check is to look in your config.log file for the error
"cannot compute sizeof (off_t)", and there will be the error message
that caused the problem.

Thanks,

Ed
