I'm afraid that we can't tell you what options to use becase we don't
have access to a NEC SX5 system and no one who does have access has told
us what options have worked.

We can, however, help you install the netCDF system. Because you're
using version 3.4 of the package and the latest release is version
3.5.0, would you please download the latest version and install it
on the NEC SX5 system. The latest version of the package is fully
backward-compatible with version 3.4. By following the instructions in
the file "INSTALL.html" and reporting any problems to us, we'll be able
to diagnose the operation of the netCDF package on your system.

The latest version of the netCDF package is available from
