We have AIX 4.2 here, so we cannot duplicate the problem, but I found
an earlier support message using the search through the netCDF support
email archive that's available at the bottom of the netCDF home page.
It suggests the following may work:

  ... the posixio.c module requires not only ANSI but also POSIX
  defines, so you need the -D_POSIX_SOURCE flag on compile lines.  To do
  this:

    1.  rm config.cache
    2.  define CPPFLAGS as "-D_POSIX_SOURCE" in your environment
        before invoking configure.
    3.  make clean
    4.  Run the configure script: ./configure
    5.  make all
    6.  make test
    7.  make install

If you run into more problems with the above, please send the details
to address@hidden.  Thanks.
