Maria,
the easiest way to install the NetCDF-4 native libraries on Ubuntu 16.04
is to install the binary package provided by your distribution with:
sudo update
sudo apt-get install libnetcdf11
Restart Jetty and everything should just work.
The GeoServer documentation should suggest using distribution packages
where available, rather than building from source.
Kind regards,
Ben.

Hello everyone,
Let me start be giving you the current status of my installation progress. I have
installed on a Ubuntu 16.04 machine with openjdk version 1.8.0_151 the Geoserver
2.12.2 using the Jetty server.I have successfully installed the WPS, importer and
geomesa-accumulo extentions.I am currently trying to install the NetCDF extention.I
have downloaded the correct jar for the GeoServer version, added them to the lib
folder in the geoserver_path/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF and I can see the NetCDF
option under Create new data source->Raster data source-> NetCDF.
I have also tried, but apparently failed, to install the NetCDF-4 native
libraries as I need to import NetCDF-4 data files. I have followed the
instruction
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/extensions/netcdf-out/nc4.html but
upon starting the GeoServer I get the error:
WARN [serverStartup] - Nc4Iosp: NetCDF-4 C library not present
(jna_path='/usr/local/lib/', libname='netcdf').
Please note that the jna_path is not null, as it is implied in the installation
instructions, in the error that I get, however it is not set by me and running echo
$jna_path from the same terminal, before and after starting the GeoServer returns the
expected null.I think that the error might come from step 5 in the installation
instructions where it say "Make sure to add the lib folder of the package you have
extracted, to the PATH environment variable."I am not sure to which extracted
package is referred, given that none of the zlib, hdf5 and NetCDF-4 downloads include a
lib folder. What I did instead was add the lib folder of my installation directory, based
on the example /work/libs/nc4libs/lib, to the PATH environment.I have also tried to
install the NetCDF-4 library at the /usr/local/lib/ path but that didn't change the
behavior.
Any help and ideas of what might cause such error are highly appreciated. If
you need any additional information please let me.
Thank you very much for you time, Maria.
