The previous problem was due to the user not establishing a complete
development environment before attempting to build the netCDF package.
Such an environment includes the proper include-files as well as the
proper compilers and linkers.  You might have to have your shell execute
the equivalent of the following csh(1)-lines:

    if ( -f /opt/modules/modules/init/csh ) then
        source /opt/modules/modules/init/csh
        module load modules PrgEnv
    endif

This should enable the C compiler to find the file <ffio.h>, which
should define "st_oblksize".

If the above doesn't execute properly, then please consult your systems
administrator for how to properly configure your development
environment.

All the above assumes that the problem is that the C compiler isn't
finding the right <ffio.h>.  Please inform me if this assumption
 is incorrect.
