[netCDF #FYC-635019]: netCDF make check fail at t_nc

I don't know what "version 4.0.1-9.3" refers to.  Is this netCDF version 4.0.1, 
or are
you still working with netCDF version 3.6.3?  The line numbers in program files 
often
change between versions, so knowing the version of the source distribution is 
helpful.

I don't think so.  If I can trust the line numbers, they seem to be referring 
to tests
of creating a new dimension, variable, and attribute using an invalid Unicode 
UTF-8
name, to make sure that the netCDF functions return the error code NC_EBADNAM 
in that
case.  It has nothing to do with 32-bit versus 64-bit, just looking at bytes and
character encodings.

No, those errors are puzzling.  Just to make sure, could you try
running "make distclean" before building the netCDF libraries
again, or re-install a later version of netCDF, if available?
For GMT, you don't need netCDF-4, so you can build from the latest
version using the "--disable-netcdf-4" option to configure.

If yast doesn't have a version more recent than 4.0.1 or 3.6.3, then
maybe you should try building from source yourself, using these
instructions:
