[netCDF #RTE-131011]: Build failure netCDF 4.1.1 on AIX

Mark,

Yes, I believe Ed fixed these in a change to libsrc4/nc4var.c, checked
in with the comment

  fixed bug with nf90_inquire_variable returning range error because
  of chunksizes for a contiguous variable

The fix was after 4.1.2-beta1, so currently it's only available in the
daily snapshot until the next beta release (or 4.1.2 release
candidate).  If you want it you can get it from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz
