You need to set some environment variables, before invoking the "configure"
script, as described in 

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/other-builds.html#hpux-10

We have found that the following works for HP-UX 10 systems:

    CPPFLAGS='-D_HPUX_SOURCE -DNDEBUG'
    CC=c89
    CFLAGS=-O
    FC=fort77
    FFLAGS='-O3 -w'

After setting these environment variables, just remove the file
"config.cache" before invoking the "configure" script again, and your
"make all" should work fine.  You may still get a few compiler warnings,
but these can be ignored if the "make test" works.
