Interesting, this last line indicates that the configure script decided
that your XDR implementation is broken.  It doesn't decide this on my
Alpha workstation.  I think discovering why will help solve the problem.

Would you please do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level, netCDF, source directory.

    2.  Remove the file `config.cache' if it exists.

    3.  Execute the configure script.  Trap all its output and send it
        to me.
