The reference to `__ctype_b' should be satisfied by the C runtime
library.  Either your linker isn't referencing the C runtime library, or
the necessary definition is missing from the C runtime library that the
linker is using.  This latter case could be becaue the compiler that was
used to compile the netCDF file "string.c" assumed a differenct C runtime
library than the one actually used by your linker.

I suggest that you show this problem to your system administrator.
