For AIX 3.2, you will need the appended patch to two files in the current
distribution (which was tested on AIX 3.1).  Apply this patch from the
top-level netcdf directory via Larry Wall's patch(1) utility, e.g.

        $ cd /usr/local/src/unidata/netcdf
        $ patch < this_file

or you can apply the patch manually, since it only involves adding two
lines and deleting one line.
