It's true that you can avoid the assertion bug that prevents support
for files larger than 2GB by compiling the whole netCDF library with
the -DNDEBUG flag, but you can also just compile the file
libsrc/posixio.c with -DNDEBUG, or you can do either of the following
instead:

  - delete the erroneous assertion

        assert(offset < X_INT_MAX); /* sanity check */

    on line 277 of libsrc/posixio.c in netCDF 3.5.0, or

  - build from the latest beta test version of netCDF available from

    ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-beta.tar.Z
