Multiple definitions, undefined references while linking ncl

Hello,

Since my last message I got around several compilation problems:
1) Missing triangle, as described in the installation guide
2) I had to replace yy_current_buffer with YY_CURRENT_BUFFER_LVALUE in
ni/src/ncl/Symbol.h to work around an undefined reference (related to my
flex version again, I guess)
3) I had to make a symlink hdf -> . in HDF's include directory. Some
source files wanted to include <hdf/hdf.h>.
4) I had to play with the order of -I options to put NetCDF before HDF.
Both provide netcdf.h, and only NetCDF's netcdf.h defines
NC_64BIT_OFFSET needed by some source file. This workaround was possibly
made necessary by the symlink I created in 3).
5) I had to hack Makefiles of ictrans and ncl to add an -L option and
-l's for pgf90 runtime libraries. I think this is because I'm using
pgf90 and gcc together.

Had I known this would be so much fun, I would probably have tried the
binary install first. Perhaps you should put even bigger warnings at the
beginning of the installation guide ;-). However, having gone this far,
I'd like to finish the installation from source. I'm now stuck again
while trying to link ncl. The failing command line is

A representative selection of error messages is:

/home/VO_SW_DIR/wisent/HDF4.2r2/lib/libmfhdf.a(globdef.o)(.data+0x8):

/home/VO_SW_DIR/wisent/netcdf-3.6.2/lib/libnetcdf.a(v2i.o)(.data+0x0):

NclHDF.o(.text+0xff9): In function `HDFOpenFile':

It seems that HDF redefines some symbols provided by NetCDF? Is that
expected - should the warnings be ignored? And where are the sd_ symbols
supposed to come from?

Best regards,
Jan Ploski
