Those other "errors" may be safely ignored.

This is the error that cannot be ignored.

You must find the cause for this error and fix it before you can
successfully build the netCDF package with support for C++ with SGI_ABI
set to "-n32".  I suggest manually compiling a test program like the
following:

    $ cat conftest.C
    #include <iostream.h>
    int main() {
        cout << "";
        return 0;
    }

Set SGI_ABI to "-n32" and execute the following command:

    /bin/CC -c -DNDEBUG conftest.C

You'll probably get the same error message.  You'll have to investigate 
the cause of this failure and fix it.  Your system administrator may be
able to help.

When you've fixed the situation, retry building the netCDF package.  Be 
sure to execute a "make distclean" before executing the configure script.

Please keep me informed.
