Hi Peter,

Yes, version 2.3.2 (from June 1993) was not tested on Linux.  Please use
version 2.4.3 instead, unless you can wait for the new version 3 we will
be releasing in the next week or so.

This indicates that "yacc" was not generating files "ncgen.tab.c" and
"ncgen.tab.h" from the file "ncgen.y".  Perhaps the "yacc" on your Linux
system generates "y.tab.c" and "y.tab.h" instead, as the "yacc" programs
on most other Unix systems do.  In this case, just do the following in
the src/ncgen/ directory:

        mv y.tab.c ncgentab.c
        mv y.tab.h ncgentab.h

Then from the src/ directory, continue the make by invoking "make all".
If it works now, you can invoke "make test" to see if it passes its
self-tests, and then "make install" to finish the installation.

I believe this problem is fixed in netCDF version 3.
