Thanks for the amazingly quick answer!

Indeed, I build Unidata NetCDF myself. I knew that Ubuntu includes a
NetCDF library now, but I specifically need the Unidata library for
another package. I believe thus I can do 2 things:

1) Perhaps I could link to the Ubuntu NetCDF library (and not the the
Unidata one, which seems to be default) when I compile Octave? Do you
know how to do this? (I think something like ./cofigure
--with-netcdf=path2Ubuntu-netcdf).

2) I build now a shared library of the Unidata NetCDF (configure with
--enable-shared) and I'm recompiling octave now, which takes some
time... I can tell tomorrow if this worked but I guess 1) is the
simplest solution...

Cheers, Ismael.
