Hi Jorge,

> Does netcdf run on IRIX64-6.5?

Yes, netCDF version 3.4 does.  We set the following environment
variables before running the configure script and everything worked:

    CC='/bin/cc -n32'           # MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1.1m
    CFLAGS=-g
    FC='/bin/f90 -n32'          # MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1.1m
    FFLAGS=-g
    CXX='/bin/CC -n32'          # MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1.1m

Here's the reason we used f90 instead of f77:

    IRIX f90 Note: On IRIX 6.x platforms with version 7 compilers, the
    f90 compiler accepts 'integer*1', while f77 accepts both
    'integer*1' and 'byte'. Using FC=f90 forces the configure script
    to select 'integer*1'.  The resulting *.inc files and test
    configurations will then work with either compiler.
