I can't duplicate this problem when following the instructions in the
INSTALL file on an AIX 4.2 RS6000 platform.

After unpacking the netcdf-3.3a.tar.Z file and changing to the
netcdf-3.3a/src directory, I first ran the configure script, which
produced the following output:

You may have to rm "config.cache" and rerun the configure script to see
if you get similar results.  Then I just typed "make all test", and
everything worked:

  $ make all test

  Making `all' in directory /home/russ/netcdf-3/aix_4.2-rs6000/src/libsrc

          c89 -c     -D_ALL_SOURCE attr.c

          c89 -c     -D_ALL_SOURCE error.c

          xlf -c  -c ftest.f

If you were using a directory where a previous netcdf distribution had
been built for another platform and did not rm "config.cache" or type
"make clean" before running the "configure" script, that might explain
why it didn't work for you.  I suggest you follow these steps from the
netcdf-3.3a/src/ directory and if it still doesn't work, send us the
output:

  rm -f config.cache
  make clean
  ./configure --prefix=<wherever you want it installed>
  make all test
