It appears that the linker couldn't find the netCDF FORTRAN routines.
This is probably because the command to link your program together
didn't reference the netCDF library.  On a UNIX system, this is usually
done via the `-L' and `-l' options to the linker or compiler.  For
example:

    cc myprog.o -L/usr/local/netcdf/lib -lnetcdf

Please let me know if this helps.
