Hi,

I guess you are using cygwin.
The octave-forge package in cygwin does not include octcdf because there
is no pre-compiled netcdf package for cygwin. There might be a octcdf
directory, but you have probably not a netcdf.oct binary (which means
octcdf is not installed on your system).

On cygwin, you have to compile netcdf and octcdf yourself. You can find
the instructions at http://ocgmod1.marine.usf.edu/octcdf/.
