Hi Joel,

> Is NetCDF compatible with IBM RS/6000 Power4 systems running AIX 5.1?

Yes, you should be able to build the netCDF library from source on AIX
just using the environment variable settings:

    CC=/bin/xlC
    FC=/bin/xlf
    F90=/bin/xlf90
    F90FLAGS=-qsuffix=f=f90
    CXX=/bin/xlC

You may even be able to build it with no environment variable
settings, if the above are your default compilers.   The above worked
for AIX 4.3, and I think the F90FLAG had something to do with our
accepting .f90 as an extension for Fortran-90 files ...

For more details, see the installation document:
