We don't have access to a system like yours, which appears to be a Linux
system with a 64-bit Itanium processor and Intel efc compiler.  Based on
feedback from users (see

    <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/other-builds.html>

) I believe that the following will work:

    1.  Go to the top-level source-directory.

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

    3.  Ensure that the following environment variables contain the
        indicated values:

            Variable    Value
            --------    -----
            CC          /opt/intel/compiler70/ia64/bin/ecc
            CPPFLAGS    -DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran"
            FC          /home/nwchem/intel71/compiler70/ia64/bin/efc
            FLIBS       -L/opt/intel/compiler70/ia64/lib -lPEPCF90
            FFLAGS      -O -mp

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

Please let me know what you discover.
