[netCDF #YTW-845739]: NetCDF 3.6.3 Failed to make



Hi Chris,

The config.log shows the error (but it's not at the end of the config.log file, 
unfortunately), that the C compiler and Fortran compiler are making objects of
different types.  It looks like the C compiler is making 32-bit objects but
gfortran is making 64-bit objects:

  configure:23876: gfortran -o conftest -O3  conftestf.o conftest.o  
  ld: warning: ignoring file conftest.o, file was built for unsupported file 
format which is not the architecture being linked (i386)
  Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
    "_sub_", referenced from:
        _MAIN__ in conftestf.o
  ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  configure:23879: $? = 1
  configure:23902: error: Could not link conftestf.o and conftest.o

To get gfortran to make 32-bit i386 objects instead of 64-bit x86_64 objects,
you need to have it use the flag "-arch i386" or "-m32".  Try using either of
the following two solutions, to see if one works:

  1.  Use 
        export FC="gfortran -arch i386"

or

  2.  Add the following before running configure:
        export CFLAGS="-m32"

One of those ought to work.  If not, you could do something similar to
get your C compiler to make 64-bit objects to match gfortran.
