The Cray C compiler now (under Cray PrgEnv 3.0) catches an error that it
used to ignore (under Cray PrgEnv 2.0).

I think just changing line 2248 of ncx.c (and ncx_cray.c) from

                const word *wp = *xpp;
to
                word *wp = *xpp;

will fix the problem.

If that works for you, I'll add this to the "Known Problems with the
current netCDF distribution" page and make sure the fix gets into the
next release.

Thanks for reporting the problem!
