CDO

Dear all
I'm using cdo 1.8.2rc1. CDO installation includes the following features:

limate Data Operators version 1.8.2rc1 (http://mpimet.mpg.de/cdo)

FILE library version : 1.8.3 of May 15 2017 16:46:42

Currently, i'm trying to upgrade to cdo 1.9.1 but i got an unexpected error. CDO seemed to configure successfully, but libcdi not. I got this error:

checking szlib.h usability... yes
checking szlib.h presence... yes
checking for szlib.h... yes
checking for library containing SZ_BufftoBuffCompress... -lsz
checking netcdf.h usability... yes
checking netcdf.h presence... yes
checking for netcdf.h... yes
checking for library containing nc_open... no
configure: error: Could not link to NetCDF library
configure: error: ./configure failed for libcdi

That's strange, because the previous installation of cdo 1.8.2rc1 was compiled successfully. Also cdo 1.9.1 configured successfully but not the integrated libcdi? netcdf 4.4.1.1 is installed and i would prefer not to change it to 4.5. are there any compatibility issues with 4.4.1.1 version?

I would appreciate any help
