The netcdf-3.5a version was a test release, created temporarily and
only to test some changes for a Cray platform.  The latest release
that we support is still netCDF version 3.4.  This is a source
release, available from

 ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.Z

We know that netCDF version 3.4 has been tested and works on the IBM
RS/6000 AIX platform.  There is also a binary release for AIX that
does not require compiling, available from

 ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/binary/aix_4.2-rs6000/netcdf-3.4.tar.Z

It would be better to use either the source release or the binary
release until we have tested version 3.5 and announced its
availability.

Regards.
