The above message contained the following:

> I'm attempting to compile netCDF as part of a GMT install.  I'm being
> adventurous as attempting the install on cygwin installed on top of WinXP.
> 
> GMT has it's own install script, so I'm working from that and it fails
> during the compile process of netCDF.  I've logged the results of the script
> and attached them to this email.  I think you can skip right to the bottom
