You can change your email address by going to 

 http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing-list-form.html#subscribe

to unsubscribe under your old address and then subscribe under your
new address.  However, for questions like the one you asked, you can
just send to "address@hidden".  I've answered it below.

This problem may have been caused by having a "config.cache" file left
over from a previous build attempt on another platform when you ran
the "configure" script.  Do a "make distclean", make sure you remove
the "config.cache" file, and then run the "configure" script again,
with one of the set of environment variables we've tested under IRIX
6.5, listed below:

        IRIX f90 Note: On IRIX 6.x platforms with version 7 compilers,
        the f90 compiler accepts 'integer*1', while f77
        accepts both 'integer*1' and 'byte'. Using
        FC=f90 forces the configure script to select 'integer*1'.
        The resulting *.inc files and test configurations will then
        work with either compiler.

    --------

    CC=/bin/c89                 # MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1.1m
    CPPFLAGS=
    CFLAGS=-g
    FC=/bin/f90                 # MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1.1m
    FFLAGS=-g
    CXX=/bin/CC                 # MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1.1m

    --------

    CC='/bin/cc -n32'           # MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1.1m
    CPPFLAGS=
    CFLAGS=-g
    FC='/bin/f90 -n32'          # MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1.1m
    FFLAGS=-g
    CXX='/bin/CC -n32'          # MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1.1m

If you still see problems, please follow the instructions at the end
of the INSTALL file on reporting problems, and send the information
requested there to "address@hidden" so we can diagnose the
problem further.

In case it helps, I've appended the output we see from running the
"configure" script on an IRIX64 6.5 system with the second set of
environment settings above.  Invoking "make all" and "make test" after
this seems to work fine, with a warning you can safely ignore
("unrecognized pragma").
