Easy install mostly depends on the OS You are working on. If Linux, You may want 
to search for an already packaged cdo ready to be installed for You distro.

If ubuntu 10+ or debian, You may try apt-get install cdo, or on fedora yum 
install cdo.

About the above, if the installation was correct (make install with no errors) 
and cdo can be invoked from the command line (path correct, without arguments it 
should have gone in /usr/local/bin), but You are unable to open NetCDF files, 
You probably miss the netcdf path at configure stage.
An easy way to have cdo report its capabilities is to invoke cdo -V.

If You do not see any netCDF line, that's the problem. Please read the INSTALL 
information for cdo on how to specify the netcdf library path.

Ciao!
