The above line indicates that the c89(1) compiler couldn't compile a
simple test file.  This is verified by the error messages below:

What's wrong with your c89(1) compiler?  Could the option `-O' (all by
itself: no argument) be invalid?

I take it you just copied file `hpux9.m4' to file `hpux10.m4'.

The only thing I can think of is that the C compiler isn't correctly
expanding the EXTERN macro in the file libsrc/netcdf.h.  Would you do
me a favor and run that file through the preprocessor and see what the
declaration for nc_inq_libvers() winds up being?  Thanks.
