Good, it was just a lucky guess.  I wish there were a more obvious error
message that resulted from trying to call netcdf functions from Fortran
without including the netcdf.inc file.  If you can think of a way to
implement something that would cause the resulting Fortran programs to
generate a compile-time error rather than a run-time error, it would be
useful.  A disciplined use of IMPLICIT NONE might work.

No, sorry, it sounds like an error in the f77 compiler.
