Please do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Remove the file `config.cache' if it exists.

    3.  Unset the environment variable OS.

    4.  Execute the following command:
    
            ./configure --prefix=/home/notaro/netcdf-232pl2

        Trap all output and send it to me.

    5.  If the above fails, then send me the file `config.log' and stop
        here.

    6.  Execute the command `make'.  Trap all outout and send it to me.

    7.  If the above fails, then stop here.

    8.  Execute the command `make test'.  Trap all output and send it to
        me.

    9.  If the above fails, then stop here.

    10.  Execute the command `make install'.  Trap all output and send
         it to me.

    11.  If the above fails, then stop here.

    12.  Execute the command `make clean'.
