MJ,

I don't understand why you are trying to compile netcdf from source if
you have downloaded the pre-built binary version.  The pre-built
binary version just has the netCDF libraries and executables, but no
source code, so there is nothing to compile.  You would still need a
compiler to link programs that use netCDF with the pre-built binary
library, but you should not need to compile the library from source.

To be correct, the above program should start with
#include <stdio.h>

so that the printf() function is recognized; then the program will
compile and work as expected.

Before running the "configure" script again, you should run "make
distclean" and remove the file "config.cache", as explained in steps 3
and 4 of "Reporting Problems" in the installation instructions:

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

Otherwise, the configure script will use previous values it saved in
the config.cache file and won't use your new environment variable
settings.

The above line says it is using the old cached values ...

Instead, try one of the suggested tested settings in the INSTALL file
for IRIX, such as:

    setenv CC /bin/c89
    setenv CPPFLAGS -DNDEBUG
    setenv CFLAGS '-O -n32'
    setenv FC /bin/f90
    setenv FFLAGS '-O -n32'
    setenv CXX /bin/CC
    setenv CXXFLAGS '-O -n32'

OK, but the above suggestions may make that unnecessary ...
