[netCDF #PYK-427149]: parallel netcdf build error.

Hi Karthika.

> I am trying to install netcdf4.0 with intel compilers.

That version of netCDF is five years old, and is no longer supported.
Many parallel I/O bugs have been fixed since that version was released
in June 2008.

Please use a more recent version, such as the netCDF C library version
4.3.0 and the netCDF-Fortran version 4.2.  They are both available
here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf

and instructions for building them are here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/build_default.html
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-fortran-install.html

The error you encountered in trying to build version 4.0 is avoided by
following step 4. in the Fortran-install instructions at the above
URL:

 4. For parallel I/O: The configure script sets CFLAGS appropriately
    for standard compilers, but if you are building with parallel I/O
    using wrappers such as mpicc and mpif90, you sometimes have to set
    CFLAGS to indicate which Fortran compiler is wrapped by
    mpif90. For example, if "mpicc --show" and "mpif90 --show"
    indicate gcc and gfortran are being used, then set
    CFLAGS=-DgFortran, and similarly set CFLAGS=-DpgiFortran for
    Portland Group compilers.
