This might be difficult.  The netCDF pacakge was not designed for the
f2c(1) utility and we don't have BSD locally.  We will do our best,
however.

Would you please do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command `make clean'.

    3.  Ensure that the file `config.cache' does not exist.

    4.  Execute the configure script.  Save the output to a file and 
        send it to me.  Also, send me the file `config.log'.

    6.  Stop here if the above fails.

    6.  Execute the command `make'.  Save the output to a file and send
        it to me.  Also, send me the .m4 file in the fortran/
        subdirectory that you are using.

    7.  Stop here if the above fails.

    8.  Execute the command `make test'.  Save the output to a file and
        send it to me.
