[netCDF #KFH-844070]: apparent problem building netcdf-4.1.2 on AIX 5.3

> Hello,
> 
> I'm trying to port an application to our AIX 5.3 system.  It requires
> zlib-1.5.2 and hdf5-1.8.6 which I've already successfully built on the
> target system.  However, I seem to be having a problem building
> netcdf-4.1.2, as shown in the attached script output.  The script was
> run using the bourne shell, so each command I ran begins with a '$' and
> hopefully that will help you navigate through the file to see what I
> did.  What I'm concerned about is the output at the end of the 'gmake
> check' command, which shows:
> 
> ================================================
> 23 of 25 tests failed^M
> Please report to address@hidden
> ================================================
> 
> and which is why I'm writing to you.  Do you see anything amiss in my
> build procedure?  I can also pass along my script output from the prior
> builds of zlib-1.5.2 and hdf5-1.8.6 if that will help you - just let me
> know.

> Other than these check failures, the library files themselves were built
> and seem to be of a reasonable size.  However, when I try linking
> everything to the main program I get the following link errors:

For some reason your fortran programs are not working. Are you sure that the 
fortran compiler is working? Can you run a test program with it and make sure 
it succeeds?

Thanks,
