[netCDF #BFT-227872]: Mac OS 10.9 netcdf-4.1.3 failed tests



Colin,

I actually did find a way to build 4.1.3 on modern OSX systems, but
it requires inserting an additional statement in one of the source
files, as described here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/known_problems.html#clang-ncgen3

Assuming you've got HDF5 installed in $H5DIR, you can then configure 
with --disable-dap-remote-tests, build, and install:

  DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${H5DIR}/lib CPPFLAGS="-I${H5DIR}/include" 
LDFLAGS="-L${H5DIR}/lib" ./configure --prefix="${NCDIR}" 
--disable-dap-remote-tests && make all && make check && make install

However, getting a new version is preferred, with three years of bug
fixes and other improvements ...
