Make sure you have not overridden the compiler environment by setting
the environment variables SGI_CC or SGI_ABI.

You sent the contents of the file "cshrc.cshrc".  If you really want
to have environment variables set before you invoke the configure
script, I would think they should be in a file named ".cshrc" in your
home directory, rather than "cshrc.cshrc".  Or you could just set the
environment variables using the "setenv" command before you run the
"configure" script.  Also, I see you have three statements setting the
C compiler environment variable:

> setenv CC "usr/lib32/cmplrs/c89 -n32"
> setenv CC "/usr/freeware/bin/gcc -n32"
> setenv CC "/usr/freeware/bin/g++ -n32"

Only the last of these will have any effect.  I would recommend using
c89 if you can, since that's what we have tested on IRIX, although gcc
may work as well.  But I doubt that the "-n32" option is meaningful to
gcc; I believe it is specific to the c89 or cc compiler for IRIX.

Note that you could just install a pre-built binary version of netCDF
by downloading and following the instructions for one of the binary
distributions we have built for IRIX in these directories:
