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.
