...

I actually wanted a different output from the configure script.
The script generates three files (config.cache, config.log, &
config.status) and writes to standard output.  The standard output
is the most useful for diagnosing problems.  Sorry I wasn't more
explicit.

Nevertheless, the above warnings are interesting.  The only `cc' utility
on our HP-UX A.09.05 A system is /bin/cc.  This utility understands both
of the `-c' and `-O' options.  Every C compiler I've encountered has
understood these options.  Perhaps you're not using the C compiler that
you think you are -- or perhaps something is wrong with the C compiler.

Odd.  The C compiler said that the `-c' option is unknown but then it
did the right thing and only compiled the files.

The above, unsatisfied symbols are in the netCDF library
../libsrc/libnetcdf.a.  It would appear that the C compiler didn't do
the right thing when it compiled the files.

I'm not sure what to tell you.  I've never encountered this particular
problem with a C compiler before.  I have encountered other, major
problems with C compilers, howerver.  In all cases so far, the problem
has been that the compiler was installed incorrectly.

Can you verify that your compiler is working correctly?
