Puzzling.  The netCDF header-file <netcdf.h> includes <stddef.h> with
is required by the C Standard to define "size_t" (and does on our HP-UX
B.11.00 system and did on our HP-UX B.10.20 system).  Apparently,
however, it doesn't on yours.

I don't recall ever seeing that error message about the "-O" option.
What's the absolute pathname of your "cc" compiler?  (Try executing the
command "which cc".)

Look at the <stddef.h> header-file associated with your "cc" compiler
(NB: it might *not* be in "/usr/include").  Does it define "size_t"?  Is
it bracketed by conditional compilation directives.  If so, what are the
macros that are being tested?

Does your "cc" compiler have an option for making it a Standard C
compiler (e.g. "-Aa")?
