Hi Yongxin,

From the attachments you sent, your netCDF installation was successful and all 
the required tests passed when you used gcc and g++ as the C and C++ compilers 
with the pgf77 and pgf90 Fortran compilers.  The error messages in config.log 
can be ignored if the tests from "make check" all passed successfully, since 
config.log just records the output of tests to determine the configuration to 
use, and some of these are expected to fail.

So if you can use the resulting library compiled with gcc for your netCDF 
application, you can be fairly confidentt it will work OK from the results of 
the "make check".  If you have to use the PGI C version 6.1-5 compiler, I'm 
sorry to say we can't help debug the problem any further.  We don't have that 
compiler installed here on that platform, so we can't duplicate the problem.  
You might try the settings Jason Elsom used that he reported success with here:

or alternatively try our latest beta release 3.6.2-beta4 available here:

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

or post your question to the netcdfgroup mailing list (about 1000 users) to see 
if anyone else has gotten this to work.
