20010504: netcdf-3.5.0 installation errors under IRIX64

Earl,

Your file "config.log" indicates a problem with your C installation:

    configure:3700: checking size of short
    configure:3719: /bin/cc -o conftest -O -n32 -DNDEBUG  conftest.c  1>&5
     This product's license is for 2 CPU's; Your system has 3 CPU's

     The MIPSpro C Compiler 
     (license FEATURE string = cc) 
     requires a license password. 

     For license installation and trouble shooting 
     information visit the web page:

     In North America, Silicon Graphics' customers may request

             or by calling our technical support hotline 

             1-800-800-4SGI 

     If you are Outside of North America or you are not a Silicon 
     Graphics support customer then contact your local support provider. 

    "/usr/include/stdio.h", line 53: error(1084): invalid combination of type
              specifiers

                    ^

    1 error detected in the compilation of "conftest.c".
    configure: failed program was:

      FILE *f=fopen("conftestval", "w");
      if (!f) exit(1);
      fprintf(f, "%d\n", sizeof(short));
      exit(0);
    }
    ...

It also indicates a similar problem with your Fortran-90 installation:

    configure:1383: checking user-defined Fortran-77 compiler "/bin/f90"
    configure:1389: /bin/f90 -c -cpp -O -n32 conftest.f
    No such feature exists (-5,116)

     The MIPSpro Fortran 90 Compiler 
     (license FEATURE string = f90) 
     requires a license password.

I suggest that you correct the above problems and then try again from
scratch (i.e. do a "make distclean" in the top-level directory before
anything else).

I also suggest that you use the "/bin/c89" compiler instead of the
"/bin/cc" compiler -- as shown in the IRIX64 example in the file
INSTALL.html.

Contact me if you encounter any other problems.  If you need to send any
generated files, would you please send them as plain text rather than as
base-64 encoded attachments.  My user mail agent can't handle base-64
encoding.
