The above message contained the following:

...

It appears from the above compilation command that the netCDF
installation is incompatible with both the perl(1) utility and the
attempted netCDF-Perl installation.  In order to be compatible, the
netCDF package would have to have been built with the
"-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE" and "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" options.  I would
also advise that it be built using the cc(1) compiler instead of
gcc(1).

I suggest that you rebuild the netCDF package using environment
variable settings that include the following:

    CC=cc
    CPPFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DNDEBUG"
    CFLAGS="-fPIC -O"

Then, try to rebuild the netCDF-Perl package.  Remember to do a "make
distclean" as the first step for both packages.

Let me know what you discover.
