can't convert netcdf file to grib2

I just installed CDO v1.5.4, and ran:

cdo -f grb2 copy file.nc file.grb2

but it returns:

cdo copy: Open failed on >file.nc<
Unsupported file type (library support not compiled in)

I did an ncdump on file.nc and it looks fine. This is netcdf v4.1.2.

Below is the cdo description::

$ cdo -V

Thanks for any ideas.

netcdf support is not compiled in. It should look like:
