The above looks OK.  The resulting netCDF library won't have a C++, 
Fortran-77, or Fortran-90 interface, but the C interface should be OK.

If the lack of the C++ and Fortran interfaces is acceptable, then I
suggest continuing with the rest of the build and installation:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 7 through 9 which are described near the end of
        the file INSTALL.html.

Please let me know of any problems.
