Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your efforts to port octave-forge to FreeBSD!
I'm the author of octcdf. Which version of netcdf is included in ports?
>From a quick google search I found this page
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=netcdf and it looks like
that 3.6.3 included. In principle, octcdf should build with any
version newer than 3.6.0. If you are using a recent enough version of
netcdf, can you send me the error message that you got while compiling
octcdf on FreeBSD?

Thanks
Alex
