The above indicates that the ICBC module wasn't compiled with the
"-qextname" option (if it was, then the global symbol would be
".utopen_" rather than ".utopen").  Because the netCDF Fortran routine
names have an underscore suffix, the Fortran compilation of the ICBC
must be told to append an underscore suffix to the global symbol names
that it generates.

Try recompiling the ICBC module with the "-qextname" option.
