Oops, I suspect the problem is that "-D_HPUX_SCOURCE" should be
"-D_HPUX_SOURCE" instead (notice there is only one "C" in "SOURCE").

Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level netcdf-3 source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make clean".

    3.  Remove the file "config.cache" if it exists.

    4.  Set the following environment variables to the indicated values:

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

        The "_HPUX_SOURCE" should handle the "EEXIST" problem and the
        "-O3" should mollify the fort77(1) compiler.

    5.  Execute the configure script.
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If an error occurs, then stop and send us the file.

    6.  Execute the command "make"
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If an error occurs, then stop and send us the file.

Note: f77 might work as well as fort77 for the Fortran-77 compiler, but
we haven't tested that combination yet.
