I suggest that you try an alpha-test version of the netCDF package.  It
works on our IRIX64 6.2 system.  The package is available at the
following URL:

    ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/alpha.tar.Z

Note that it doesn't contain a User's Guide.  You'll have to use the one
in your existing doc/ subdirectory.

Please let me know if this helps.
