Sorry, but I don't know how else this could happen unless the VERSION
file was somehow renamed, moved, or deleted from your distribution.

If you still can't get it to work, you might try the latest beta
release, which has a simplified configure system that usually doesn't
require setting any environment variables:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-beta.tar.gz

You can also get binary installations of netCDF for Linux in RPM form (for
RedHat and similar systems).  For example search for "netcdf" at:

  http://rpm.pbone.net/
