Hello! sorry for the oversight.  Here is my (list-only) reply from last 
week:

http://lists.mcs.anl.gov/pipermail/parallel-netcdf/2014-May/001574.html

Thanks for subscribing to the mailing list.

There are folks using pnetcdf and WRF on Blue Gene.  I don't know the 
details, but it apparently is possible.  I think we can get you 
straightened out.

When you see errors like this:

/bin/sh: line 1:  6418 Illegal instruction     ./nc_test -c -d .

it means you are running back-end code on the login nodes.  Blue Gene is 
a cross-compile environment: compute node codes cannot run on the login 
nodes.  (well, technically they can... until they make a system call)

what does line 2403 of wrf_io.f90 look like?
