Hi Matt and Charlie, Correct me if I am wrong, but when I compile netcdf-c v.4.9.0 with the option --with-plugin-dir, then this is the default location for the HDF5 plugins. Only when a user has its own plugins it should extent the search path using HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH. Then when I compile netcdf-fortran or nco (the latter compiled without the option --with-hdf5-plugin-path) against this version of the netcdf-c library, they will also look at the same default location or use the HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH search path. As a maintainer, I would discourage (non-expert) users to use set the environment variable HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH. And keep all the necessary plugins at one place.

(I have always used the environment variable method for NCO). Now I realize it is a generic option provided by configure, and thus is available to NCO at build time as well. There is no harm in building NCO with --with-hdf5-plugin-path. It is probably more robust to build with --with-hdf5-plugin-path, that way users who do not know about the environment variable will get predictable behavior from your builds.
