Oops, the ncconfig.h looks like an old one from a previous run of
configure.  I should have told you to run "make distclean" after
deleting "config.cache".  Could you also please send us the values of
the environment variables CC, CPPFLAGS, and CFLAGS (if any) that you
set before you run the "configure" script?  It is important that the C
compiler that you use for building netCDF is the same one you can use
to successfully compile the small sample program above.

In our INSTALL document for IRIX, we recommend using c89, by setting
the environment variables

    CC=/bin/c89
    FC=/bin/f90  # builds both f77 and f90 interfaces
    CXX=/bin/CC

before running the configure script.  See

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html#irix

for other examples that worked on our IRIX systems.  If it still
doesn't work, then follow the instructions under "Reporting Problems"
at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html#ReportingProblems

which tells you what is needed after running "make distclean".
Thanks.
