Might as well email this description for the mail archive such that others
may profit!

For Linux 1.2.13 and netcdf-2.4.2:

I added the following lines to CUSTOMIZE (Note, no fortran):

 CC=gcc
 CFLAGS='-m486 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe'
 CXX=g++
 CXXFLAGS=-O -I/usr/lib/g++-include
 FC=""
 FFLAGS=-O
 prefix=/usr/local
 OS=linux

`make all' succeeded except for the ncgen directory.  i went into it
and did `make all' in that directory:

/opt/src/netcdf-2.4.2/src/ncgen> make all
yacc -d ncgen.y
make: /usr/bin/make: cannot execute binary file
make: *** [ncgentab.c] Error 126

Same error.  However, strangely enough, yacc worked manually:

/opt/src/netcdf-2.4.2/src/ncgen> yacc -d ncgen.y 
/opt/src/netcdf-2.4.2/src/ncgen> mv y.tab.c ncgentab.c
/opt/src/netcdf-2.4.2/src/ncgen> mv y.tab.h ncgentab.h

Then, another `make all' and it is done!

Then I went back to the top level, did `make all' again to do stuff
after the initial error and everything was done.  `make test' worked also.

Cool!
