Howdy Maria!

Each time you try to build netCDF (except the very first time), you must do a
"make distclean" first. That will make sure that each attempt to build netCDF
starts clean.

Which netCDF APIs do you need? Do you need the C++? Do you need the F77 and F90
APIs? If you don't need to use fortran, we can skip all fortran problems. If
you don't need C++, use the configure option --disable-cxx, if you don't need
fortran, use --disable-f77 and --disable-f90.

But I suspect you want fortran, from your questions.

To answer your question above, netCDF knows nothing about 64 vs. 32 bit builds.
Most C compilers on 64-bit computers seem to default to 64 bits, but many
fortran compilers seem to default to 32 bit.

If you're fortran compiler is assuming 32 bit, you need to find the option for
your C compiler which tells it to build in 32 bit mode as well, otherwise the C
and Fortran libraries will not work together.

The AIX build with xlf is known to work. See here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/builds/snapshot/
(search for AIX).

Please do a "make distclean" and then, without setting any environmental vars,
run ./configure && make check

and send me the complete output if it does not work.

Thanks,

Ed
