On our web page "Other Builds of the netCDF Package", there is a brief
note on a working solution on MacOS X with the Absoft compiler:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/docs/other-builds.html#absoft

using the latest 3.6.1 beta release from

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

I believe that causes everything to be built for use of 64-bit file
offsets.
