It's possible to build and install the netCDF library without the Fortran interface by specifying FC="" (no Fortran compiler) when the configure script that creates the Makefiles is first run, so maybe that's what happened. If you still have the netCDF source around, you can recreate the library to include the Fortran interface, starting from scratch, reversing whatever you did to specify a null value for FC (as an environment variable or in the file CUSTOMIZE) make clean; ./configure --prefix=<whatever>; make all test install Check the INSTALL file for complete directions. --Russ P.S. Questions like this should probably be set to address@hidden rather than to address@hidden, since the latter address is a mailing list for discussions and announcements.
