Hi John. Further apologies for missing the discussion 
(https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/pull/2388). I thought that it was 
abandoned. What I can report about 
https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/pull/2602 is this:

With the b91a8d3c5 commit of libMesh, I removed the line where my patch 
is applied, then ran =autoconf=, and omitted the =sed= line which 
changes =configure=. The summary is that it still uses =contrib/netcdf= 
for me (https://bitbin.it/pVrS2245/). I do have =--enable-netcdf= 
--with-netcdf=/usr/include --with-netcdf-lib=/usr/lib= as configuration 
flags.

I _am_ able to compile with my local netcdf if
1. I apply the patch
2. Run =autoconf=
3. Run the =sed= line on =configure=

After I read 
https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/wiki/Updating-configure-tests%2C-Makefiles%2C-etc 
and it seems that libMesh's building stack creates a new an error with 
TIMPI

configure: error: libmesh/contrib/timpi/configure failed for 
contrib/timpi
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
     Aborting...

In any case, you can see the final =configure= and my =netcdf.m4= here:

be better an it is uploading as I click Send)
