Hi Eric,

I'm afraid I don't have any hands on experience with wgrib2, but my 
understanding is that they package a (very) old version of netcdf with their 
software; netcdf 3.6.3 I believe?  Assuming you are using this pre-packaged 
version, this might be the result of normal code decay; for example, I struggle 
to find a modern environment where I can get netcdf 3.6.3 to work correctly, 
and I cannot even compile some later versions on my main development machine 
anymore due to compiler changes.

What platform (Operating system, hardware architecture, 32/64-bit) are you 
working in?  Are you using the pre-packaged netcdf which comes with wgrib2? If 
not, which version are you working with?  

I'm sorry I can't provide a more immediate, positive response, but I will 
provide what insight I can based on the answers to the questions above.
