The file `include/netcdf.inc' is for FORTRAN code.  Since you don't have
a FORTRAN compiler, the file isn't needed and wasn't installed.

Some systems require that the (3f) manuals bin in their own directory,
some don't.  So we use a symbolic link to do it both ways.  Since you
don't have a FORTRAN compiler, you could delete the directory-tree
rooted at man/man3f if you like to save space (in which case you should
remove the file man/man3/netcdf.3f as well).

Other than that, it appears your installation has succeeded.

Thanks for the feedback and enabling us to improve the LINUX
installation process.
