I don't know of anyone who has ever successfully gotten the netCDF Fortran
interface built for a NeXT using the Absoft Fortran compiler.  Craig
Mattocks (address@hidden) got it built under NeXTSTEP 3.0
using the f2c version of f77.  We don't have access to a NeXT platform with
a Fortran compiler, so we haven't been able to test that combination.

You might try posting a query to the address@hidden mailing
list, or searching through past archives of netCDF support mail using one of
the search links and a WWW browser like Mosaic on the URL

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/

If you want to debug the problem, you probably should start by making sure
the M4 macros defined in netcdf/fortran/next.m4 are reasonable; they may be
just guesses based on reading the documentation, since we didn't have a
Fortran compiler to test with.
