William,
Just 'cuz I'm doing a lot of compiling these days, that message is telling
you that the netcdf library is not a 32-bit library, whence imcompatible
with the 32-bit build underway. I'm guessing that he built the netcdf
library himself and did not specify 32-bit mode for that build. The obvious
solution would be to rebuild the netcdf library and be sure to use the
"-32" flag when doing so. Either that or I'm wrong.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Matthew
