I made a mistake.  The above does contain a problem.  The option "-o"
in the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS macros will cause severe problems during
compilation.  It is likely that the environment variables CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS contained the string "-o" when the configure script was
executed.  Did you want the "-O" option instead?

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory of the netCDF package.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5, which are described near the end of
        the file INSTALL.html.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variables CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS do NOT
        contain the string "-o".

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9, which are described near the end of
        the file INSTALL.html.

Please let me know if this helps.
