Again, the solution is to update your netCDF library to support netCDF4

nc-config --all

This netCDF 4.9.0 has been built with the following features:

[....]
   --has-dap       -> yes
   --has-dap2      -> yes
   --has-dap4      -> yes
   --has-nc2       -> yes
   --has-nc4       -> yes  <<<<<        #### THIS MUST BE PRESENT !!!
   --has-hdf5      -> yes
   --has-hdf4      -> yes
[...]

If you have a "no" there, that is the problem.
