I might need more details, since I can't seem to duplicate the problem here.
I just tested version 2.4-beta6 (contents of the VERSION file) on the
following platform (output of "uname -a"):

    IRIX64 binnie 6.1 07121831 IP26 mips

and it worked fine when I just ran "./configure; make all test".  There were
a few compiler warnings in the lex-generated code for ncgen, but otherwise
it built and the tests ran OK with no changes.

We don't have an SGI running IRIX 6.0.1 here, so if it's just a problem that
with that version of the OS, we won't be able to duplicate it.

Please send us details on

 - the VERSION of the netCDF-beta you are building
 - the output of "uname -a"
 - a copy of the "config.status" file that results from running
   the "configure" script
 - the exact error you see when running "make test"
 - the traceback you get from invoking "where" in dbx after the error

and we'll try to figure out what the problem is.  Thanks for helping us test
the beta release.
