[netCDF #MLN-183221]: configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (size_t)

Hello Jarno,

Looking in your config.log file, I see that it is failing to determine the 
sizeof() for any variable, not just size_t.  I'm finding the following after 
each failure in the log file:

configure:16283: result: 0
configure:16297: checking size of off_t
configure:16302: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2   conftest.c -lcurl  >&5
configure:16302: $? = 0
configure:16302: ./conftest.exe
configure:16302: $? = 0
configure:16316: result: 8
configure:16330: checking size of size_t
configure:16335: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2   conftest.c -lcurl  >&5
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.8.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot 
open output file conftest.exe: Permission denied
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:16335: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1
configure: failed program was:

It appears to be a filesystem error; the `ld` program is unable to create the 
executable it uses to determine the size of the various variables.  Can you 
confirm that you have write permission, or perhaps try to compile netcdf from a 
different directory?
