"Installation with octave's package manager (recommended)

Recent version of octave (tested with 3.6.2) can automatically download packages and install them in one command:

pkg install -global -forge octcdf

" 

There are no rejoinmders about reading FAQ's (too many to be useful) or installing other packages.  However the above just does NOT work as stated.

The very first section of the webpage http://modb.oce.ulg.ac.be/mediawiki/index.php/NetCDF_toolbox_for_Octave (which I wrote) states what you need to install octcdf. Please read the entire instructions before complaining that something does not work as stated. For your reference:

Requirements

1. NetCDF libraries and headers (version 3.6.0 or later). Detailed installing instructions are available from the NetCDF site.
2. Octave and headers (version 3.3.51 or higher)
3. gcc and g++ (the same version used to build octave)
