Description

When using MATLAB the netcdf library is pointed to netcdf.dll in the MATLAB installation folder and if I call NCDatasets it now reports

error compiling nc_open: could not load library "C:\Users\Jianghui\.julia\conda\3\Library\bin\netcdf.DLL"
The specified module could not be found.

How could I redirect the library?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the MATLAB and NCDatasets netcdf.dll conflict described in the issue, then inspect how MATLAB.jl and NCDatasets select the native library. Done means documenting or implementing a reliable way to redirect library loading so NCDatasets can open netCDF files without the MATLAB installation taking precedence.
