William,

Just 'cuz I'm doing a lot of compiling these days, that message is telling
you that the netcdf library is not a 32-bit library, whence imcompatible
with the 32-bit build underway.  I'm guessing that he built the netcdf
library himself and did not specify 32-bit mode for that build.  The obvious
solution would be to rebuild the netcdf library and be sure to use the
"-32" flag when doing so.  Either that or I'm wrong.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Matthew
