It looks like your C development environment is faulty.  The file
"nc.c" includes the header-file "nc.h", which includes the header-file
"netcdf.h", which includes the C-system header-file "errno.h", which is
*required* to define the macro EEXIST.

I suggest that you define the C macro _HPUX_SOURCE before compiling the
source files.  Do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 near the end of the INSTALL file.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the
        string""-D_HPUX_SOURCE".

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.

Please let me know if this helps.
