Re: NetCDF library problems

FreeBSD uses gcc; which version depends on the FreeBSD version.

On FreeBSD 4.8:

# cc -v
Using builtin specs.
gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]

On FreeBSD 5.2.x:

# cc -v
Using built-in specs.
Configured with: FreeBSD/i386 system compiler
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.3 [FreeBSD] 20031106
