I suspect that your "make test" problems are due to the icc(1) compiler
not correctly handling the extreme-value floating-point numbers that
are used in the test.  I suggest that you execute the "make install"
command to install the netCDF package and then test it with some of your
own netCDF files.  If you do not have any problems, then the netCDF
installation is probably correct.

Please let me know what you discover.
