I installed netcdf in R for a project six months ago, I also tried the package 
you mention 5 minutes ago (I found it named 'cim.pact'); it compiles and 
loads fine on my system. You'll need the netcdf and netcdf-devel RPM packages 
installed from the software manager(YAST), then install the clim.pact R 
package (install.packages("clim.pact") from the R prompt as root, R should 
handle the dependencies automatically). If you meet any difficulties, feel 
free to ask for further instructions.

Depending on the size of your dataset, the number of calculations your project 
requires and the libraries you configured R to operate with (ATLAS, BLAS, 
LAPACK or none of them), the SSA-MTM program might prove faster than R. Even 
then I would prefer R, as it's extremely flexible. You may, of course, try 
the file I posted previously, as a quick and dirty solution.

Merry Christmas.
