The symbol S_IRGRP should be defined in the header-file <sys/stat.h>.
The file ncio.c includes <sys/stat.h>, thus your development environment
either doesn't conform to the POSIX standard or it has something wrong
with it.

We do have a set of "msoft.mak" files for Win32 environments that we
have used successfully for building the C and Fortran interfaces, as
described at

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/WIN32_README.TXT

I'm CC:ing John Caron, who knows more about Windows
environments, in case he has any other suggestions.
