So something decided that shared libraries were not ok.  So we need to
take a closer look what did that.  I tried to build this:

> ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-daily.tar.gz

on a hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00 system using this:

> ./configure --enable-shared --enable-c-only

(but with a VPATH setup).  And I get
  enable shared libraries
  enable static libraries

and I get a nice library 'libsrc/.libs/libnetcdf.sl.4.0'.  'make check'
succeeds as well.

So, we're still at the head scratching stage.  Ed, could you provide
a build log, including config.log and configure output.  Probably that
won't even show it either, so if you have time, go and put
  set -x

in the second line of 'configure', rerun that and upload the output
somewhere.  If you must post it, be sure to bzip2-pack.

Cheers,
Ralf
