There is no file named "ncvarrename.c" in the current netCDF source 
distribution.  It looks like you are trying to 
compile a file named "tbl2cdf.c".  There was a contributed program named 
tbl2cdf from 1991 that used netCDF 
version 2, but it was not developed or supported by Unidata.  I've looked at 
the source for that program

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/tbl2cdf.c

and it doesn't seem to correspond to what you are trying to compile.  But you 
might try to contact the author,
Chuck Denham (sorry, we don't have a current email address) to see if it's been 
ported to a more up-to-date
version of netCDF.

If you're trying to convert a table of numbers to netCDF form, we don't have a 
general tool, but I see there are
quite a few hits when searching "table to netCDF" with Google.
