The last 9 lines above indicate that the configure script couldn't find
any primitive C types corresponding to the primitive Fortran types.  If
true, then this would make it impossible to build the netCDF Fortran
interface.  This defies belief.  It's more likely that something is
wrong with your developmennt environment.

To test your development environment, would you please do the following:

    1.  Create the file "sub.c" with the following code:

            void sub_(values)
                int values[4];
            {
                exit(values[1] != -2 || values[2] != -3);
            }

    2.  Compile it with the following command:

            /usr/bin/cc -c -O sub.c

        If an error occurs, then stop and send me the error output.

    3.  Create the file "main.f" with the following code:

           integer values(4)
           data values /-1, -2, -3, -4/
           call sub(values)
           end

    4.  Compile it with the following command:

            /usr/bin/fort77  -c main.f

        If an error occurs, then stop and send me the error output.

    5.  Link the two object files into a program with the following
        command:

            /usr/bin/fort77 -o main main.o sub.o

    6.  Execute the program with the following command:

            ./main

        and tell me its exit status.
