Paul et al,
  I have had similar problems +/- with the Lahey compiler under Win32/CygWin:
  http://www.cwr.uwa.edu.au/~slawinski/work/netcdfinfo.html#WinNT
and had to make a fix for that.  Unfortunately I do not remember your 
problem happening when I compiled the NetCDF libs on my MaxOS X box 
or when they are used.  But then again we use the f77 bindings.
Setup is:
  MacOS 10.1.3
  NetCDF 3.5.0
  Absoft Pro Fortran 7.0b
  FC = f77
  F90 = f90
  CPPFLAGS = -DNDEBUG -DAbsoftProFortran
The only warning or error I get is:
  cc -c -O -I.  -DNDEBUG -DAbsoftProFortran -DVERSION=`cat 
../VERSION` libvers.c
MEMORY:1: warning: malformed floating constant
and that I am not to worried about.

Hi group-
I am linking programs (GMT) with the netcdf library (3.5.0) under MacOS X.
The MacOS X cc compiler (based on gcc) gives warnings for
lines 190 and 193 in netcdf.h, saying
ANSI C forbids const or volatile functions
The offending lines are:
EXTERNL const char *
nc_inq_libvers(void);
EXTERNL const char *
nc_strerror(int ncerr);
I get no such warnings under Linux.  While they are just warnings and cause no
problems it is annoying to see them and if the message about ANSI C is true
then shouldn't netcdf.h take the const declarations out?
Cheers,
