It appears that you have version 2 of the netCDF package.  Currently,
the netCDF package is at version 3.3.1.  I strongly suggest that you
install the latest release of the netCDF package, which is available at
the following URL:

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

See the files README and INSTALL in the distribution.
