Firstly, could you please run: 'make clean test' in that directory,
and send me the complete output?

Did all the other tests pass in nctest?

Did the tests in nc_test pass?

You can also go to each of the following directories and make sure the
tests pass: ncgen ncdump fortran cxx nc_test.

Also could you unpack the whole distribution cleanly and try again
somewhere else? And send me that output as well, including the output
of the configure script.

What's happening is that the nctest testing suite is comparing a file
that was generated on your machine (testfile.nc) with one that comes
with the tarball (testfile_nc.sav). If the two files are identical,
the test passes. But there seem not to be.

If there really is a difference it may be (or may not be) related to
some recently added code relating to where the end of a netCDF file
is. Or it may just be an artifact of your system, or of Irix, etc.

Thanks,

Ed
