Thomas,

Tom has asked me to help you since he's out today and I'm a netCDF
build expert.

Ouch!  The C compiler /usr/ucb/cc isn't a Standard C compiler.  I'd be
very surprised if you could build the netCDF package with it.

Do you have a Standard C compiler (e.g. /usr/lang/acc, gcc)?  If so,
then I recommend that you use it (you'll have to rerun the configure
script after a "make distclean").

If you do have a Standard C compiler, then I'd further recommend that
you build the netCDF 3.3 package rather than the netCDF 2.4 package.
Version 3 is backward compatible with version 2, but is much improved
and considerably faster.
