Whether or not you set some environment variables depends on whether
you want an optimized version, or a debug version, and the location of
your perl and netCDF packages.  You can often get away with not setting
anything -- but sometimes not.  The relevant environment variables are
listed in the INSTALL file.

~!@#$%^!

We no longer have an HP-UX 10.20 system here and It looks like I'll need
one in order to find the problem.  May I use yours?

This could very well be the problem -- especially since it's the loader
that's complaining.

What you mean "we"?   :-)

If you can get me a login to your system, then I'll try installing both
the netCDF and netcdf-perl packages; otherwise, send the stuff from the
netCDF attempt.
