indicates that the compilation model for the netCDF-Perl module is
inconsistent with the compilation model that was used to compile the
netCDF library (/home/leroy/Packages/netcdf/lib/libnetcdf.so).  In
general, the same compilation model must be used for the perl(1)
installation, the netCDF library, and the netCDF-Perl extention module.
Reconciling the differences between these models is beyond the scope
of the netCDF-Perl package and must be done by the person doing the
installation.

Information on the compilation model used to build the netCDF package
can be found in the file "make.log" in the top-level source-directory
of the netCDF package.  See what compiler was used and with what options.

The compilation model used in attempting to build the netCDF-Perl module 
is given by your "make.log" file:

    cc -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

I suspect that the above is inconsistent with the compilation module used
to build the netCDF library.

Information on the compilation model used to build the perl(1) utility
can be obtained via the command

    perl -V

I you can get me information on the various compilation models, I might
be able to help you.

Steve Emmerson
