Hi Emin,

This indicates that you either need to rebuild the netCDF library
using the "-n32" compiler option to be compatible with the way your
model was compiled (I think -n32 is the default for Irix platforms),
or you need to use the "-o32" compiler option when compiling your
model to be compatible with the way the netCDF library was built.

You could also set the environmental variable SGI_ABI to -o32 or -n32
before building both the library and your model, so that the compiler
and linker inherit that value.
