[netCDFPerl #JOQ-768263]: 'make test' failing on 'libnetcdf.so.4'

Sean,

Yes.  Your netCDF library was compiled in 32-bit mode.

I *think* that the following will build the netCDF package in 64-bit mode:

    make distclean
    export CFLAGS=-m64
    make

but I don't know for certain.  You might inquire of
<address@hidden>.

Yes.  The command "perl -V" can be very informative.  The main thing
is that modes of the perl utility and the shared library must be the
same.

It appears that both perl and the netCDF package on your home computer
are in 32-bit mode.
