Looks like we made a mistake.  Fortunately, the fix appears to be easy.

Would you please apply the enclosed patch to your file
"libsrc/ncx_cray.c", copy the patched file to "ncx.c", and then attempt
to rebuild the package.

Please let me know how it works.

Steve Emmerson   <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu>
