From what you sent me, the problem appears to be a typo. I think you
actually set the environment variable
CC = gcc -D__USE__FIXED_PROTOTYPES__
instead of
CC = gcc -D__USE_FIXED_PROTOTYPES__
before you ran configure, and the extra "_" caused the needed macro to
not be defined, so you continue to see the problem as if strtod was not
declared.
I suggest you try building netCDF 3.3.1 again, after removing
config.cache, invoking "make clean", and carefully setting CC to the
exact string "gcc -D__USE_FIXED_PROTOTYPES__" before invoking the
"configure" script, "make all", and "make test". If you still have
problems, please let us know. Alternatively, you could set the
environment variable CPPFLAGS to "-D__USE_FIXED_PROTOTYPES__", and CC to
"gcc" and get the same effect, as explained at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/known_problems_331.html#gcc-sunos4
In any case, thanks for using our support search engine to research the
problem before presenting the symptoms!
