I've put a new release, alpha12, on the netCDF ftp site:

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4.0-alpha12.tar.gz

This release was built with the latest libtool, and does not
suffer this libtool problem on the AIX platform.

I built and tested the alpha 12 release on AIX with the following
command:

CC=xlc ./configure --disable-shared --disable-cxx --enable-netcdf-4 
--with-hdf5=/home/bluesky/edh/local --prefix=/home/bluesky/edh/local && make 
check

I am using HDF5 1.7.52.

(Also, when building HDF5, you MUST first build zlib, and then build
HDF5 with the --with-zlib=/wherever configure option).

Sorry about the complex install, I am working on that problem...

Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

Thanks,

Ed
