I'm not one of the supporters of the netCDF package anymore, but I
suggest you try this:

    1.  Go to the top-level source-directory of the netCDF package.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CFLAGS contains the string
	"-fPIC", e.g.,

	    export CFLAGS=-fPIC

	depending on your user-shell.

    4.  Execute the commands "make" and "make install".

    5.  Go to the top-level source-directory of the netCDF-Perl package.

    6.  Execute the commands "make clean", "make", and (hopefully) "make
	install".
