Cannot find NetCDF

Hello,
The NCEPLIBS installation is not finding netCDF:

The command nc-config is up and running (netCDF 4.8.0-development). I have tried to declare the netCDF lib(rary) and include paths as either cmake variables or regular environmental variables, but maybe I'm just not using the right names. Thanks.

Did you set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to include the netCDF install directory?

It seems that that was the missing piece. Thank you!
