[netcdfgroup] make test fails tests involving uchar: Numeric conversion not representable

Hello,

I am trying to build netcdf/4.4.0 as a dependency for I/O API and CMAQ
models on a parallel-capable cluster.  I am using compiler PGI/13.8 and MPI
implementation MVAPICH2/1.9a2 on a CentOS Linux platform.

Running make check (logs attached, split into 3 files b/c the run was
interrupted) results in failures indicating "Numeric conversion not
representable" for uchar types.  The errors say to check the
nc-test/test-suite.log file which is also attached here.  Information about
my build is included below.

1. Can someone help me with these errors?  Ideally, I'd like to resolve
them, but I could settle for being convinced that the errors are not
important.

2. I also need to build/install netcdf-fortran and have used the
experimental configure switch to do this... how do I know if it worked?

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Matt


BUILD INFO:
I have built parallel-netcdf/1.7.0 and hdf5/1.8.15 with the same compiler
and MPI and am linking to their library and include directories.

I ran configure from a separate build directory using:

SZIP_INC=[--system path--]/pgi13_8/szip/2.1/include
SZIP_LIB=[--system path--]/pgi13_8/szip/2.1/lib
HDF5_INC=[ --local path --]/hdf5/build/hdf5/include
HDF5_LIB=[ --local path --]/hdf5/build/hdf5/lib
PNETCDF_INC=[ --local path --]/pnetcdf/install/include
PNETCDF_LIB=[ --local path --]/pnetcdf/install/lib
CXX=mpicxx F77=mpif77 F90=mpif90 FC=mpif90 CC=mpicc \
CPPFLAGS="-I$HDF5_INC -I$SZIP_INC -I$PNETCDF_INC" \
LDFLAGS="-L$HDF5_LIB -L$SZIP_LIB -L$PNETCDF_LIB" \
../netcdf-4.4.0/configure \
--prefix="/home/brownm12/deq/CMAS/br/netcdf/install/netcdf-4.4.0/"
--enable-pnetcdf \
--disable-shared --enable-remote-fortran-bootstrap --disable-extra-tests\
| tee MYCONFIGLOG

The output from running configure is attached as the file MYCONFIGLOG.
