I could be that the netCDF library wasn't built with the
position-independent code that the netCDF-Perl module requires.  The
necessary option to do this is "-fPIC" for the gcc(1) compiler.  Can you
verify that this option was used to compile the netCDF package?  You
might find this information in the "make.log" file in the top-level
source directory of the netCDF package.
