Hi Sam,

> I'm trying to install NETCDF 4.1.3 on my RHEL4. (along with HDF5-1.8.7

We apparently didn't test the "--enable-benchmarks" very well, it gets
errors.  You may also have had a problem of not enough disk when you
were running the benchmark test 

  *** Create some files for testing benchmarks.
  *** Creating very large 3D file...Sorry! Unexpected result, 
tst_create_files.c, line: 62
  FAIL: tst_create_files

If I omit --enable-benchmarks (and --with-szlib=... because I don't
have that installed) everything checks out OK with 4.1.3. I recommend that
you not enable benchmarks, which are mostly intended for our internal 
performance testing.

I'll add a note about the --enable-benchmarks failing on our "Known Problems"
web page.
