You should be using the latest version of netCDF, version 3.3.1
available from

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

Rather than just let the "configure" script choose Fortran flags for
you, you can use one of the tested sets of flags for IRIX, listed in the
INSTALL document.  For example, on IRIX 6.2 or later, there is an
advantage to using FC=f90 instead of FC=f77 to specify the Fortran
compiler, as explained in the INSTALL document.  The INSTALL document is
in the source software distribution, but it's also available at

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL

If it still doesn't work, please send the information listed at the end
of the INSTALL document (under the "IF PROBLEMS OCCUR heading) to
address@hidden.

Thanks!
