I think this indicates a bug in the ncgen or ncdump Makefiles, not relinking
against the new netCDF library after you have recompiled it.  My guess is
that if you just delete the ncgen and ncdump executables and run "make" at
the top level again before running "make test", things will work.  Please
let me know if this doesn't fix the problem.
