Building netcdf-4-alpha on Mac OS X with xlf

["Jed O. Kaplan" <jed.kaplan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I am attempting to build netcdf-4.0-alpha11 on Mac OS X 10.4 with  
gcc4 and IBM xlf90 Fortran.

I have not managed to get beyond compiling the netCDF-3 interface at  
this point, compilation works fine until the f90 compile, when the  
build halts with this error:

Making all in f90
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile xlf90 -I../libsrc -I. -g - 
qsuffix=f=f90 -c -o typeSizes.lo typeSizes.f90
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'

I did a bit of googling on this problem and tried to solve it by  
installing the latest libtool (2.1a) and automake (1.9.4) and  
autoconf (2.59), but it didn't seem to help.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jed Kaplan
