Missing eh?  You must have an old version of the netCDF package.

Yup.  You definitely have an old version.  One that was released before
we ported the netCDF package to the DEC Alpha.

I suggest that you get the latest version.  It's available via the
following URL:

    ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/

Please let me know if this helps.
