Poshumn,

The current release should still work on OSF1 V3.2, but we don't have a
3.2 platform on which to test it.

In what you sent, I don't actually see any errors.  The output of the
'configure' script looks fine.  We expect there will be errors in the
config.log file, because it contains all the detailed output from
attempts to determine properties of the environment, libraries, and
compilers, so that it can create the proper Makefiles.  

For example, to determine whether the malloc() function is declared in
the <stdlib.h> include file, 'configure' tries to compile a little test
program that #includes <stdlib.h> and declares the malloc() function
again.  If a compile error results from the second declaration, that
means <stdlib.h> did have a declaration for malloc(), but it's not an
error in the configuration or installation.

The above just mean no C++ compiler was found, which is OK.  It just
avoids trying to compile and test the C++ interface to netCDF, but will
still compile and test the C and Fortran interfaces.

All the above look fine.

We don't ordinarily expect users need to look at config.log.  It's just
for our use, as the above message at the start of the log indicates.

No, everything looks fine.

Apparently they are, because all the tests run by "make test" succeeded.
This shows that the current version of netCDF works with OSF1 V3.2.

You may still want to run "make install" to get the netCDF libraries,
include files, executables, and documentation copied into directories
from which they will be used.
