You forgot to add "-lnetcdf" to the above reply.  The "make test" failed
because the reference to the netCDF variable "ncopts" couldn't be
satisfied:

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source-directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

    3.  Set the following environment variables to the indicated values:

            PERL_MANDIR  /usr/share/man
            CPP_NETCDF   -I/usr/local/include
            LD_NETCDF    -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf

    4.  Execute the configure(1) script.  Redirect both the standard
        output and error streams to the file "configure.log".

    5.  Execute the command "make".  Redirect both the standard
        output and error streams to the file "make.log".

    6.  Execute the command "make test".  Redirect both the standard
        output and error streams to the file "test.log".

    7.  Execute the command "make install".  Redirect both the standard
        output and error streams to the file "install.log".

If a step in 4 through 7 fails, then send me its log file and the log
files of the previous steps.

Steve Emmerson
