I see what your problem is.  On a Linux system, when using the f77
Fortran compiler, the C macro "f2cFortran" must be defined in order to
correctly build the netCDF package.

Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory of your netCDF package.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 near the end of the INSTALL file.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CFLAGS contains the string
        "f2cFortran", e.g.

            export CFLAGS="-DNDEBUG -Df2cFortran"

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.

Please let me know if this helps.
