[netCDF #NCZ-995525]: netcdf on MAC intel ifort

Hi Prashant,

> ./configure: line 332: printf: write error: Broken pipe

This indicates a problem with the way ifort is configured and
installed or use of a different C compiler than icc with ifort,
perhaps due to not setting the PATH before ivoking configure so that
icc and ifort are found as the C and Fortran compilers.

One user indicated this worked on MacOS X 10:

  CC="icc"
  FC="ifort"
  CFLAGS='-O3 -xN -ip -no-prec-div -static'
  FFLAGS='-O3 -xN -ip -no-prec-div -static'
  ./configure
  make check
  make install

You could also try the more elaborate procedure provided by Intel
here, especially if you are using version 10 or later of the Intel
compilers:

If that doesn't help, we'll need to see all the information requested here:
