Hi Xinhua,

> I work for SPAWAR. We are trying to port a mocule that consists of c and

No, sorry, we don't have an updated HP-UX platform on which we could build
such binaries.  You should be able to build libnetcdf.a from source easily
if you configure to not use any of the new features available in the current
netCDF-4 library that you don't make use of, like support for the enhanced
netCDF-4 data model or OPeNDAP client support.  Just get the source from

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

and run the configure script with the options

  --disable-netcdf-4 --disable-dap 

If you don't use the Fortran-77 or Fortran-90 interfaces or the C++ 
interfaces, you could also include the configure options

  --disable-fortran --disable-cxx

If the default is to build 64-bit executables, you'll have to set
the environment variables CFLAGS, FCFLAGS, FFLAGS, CXXFLAGS
appropriately (e.g. "-m32") for C, Fortran-90, Fortran-77, or C++
compiler flags, before invoking the configure script, and then just
follow the build instructions:
