It appears from the above that your Fortran-90 compiler (f90) is passing
the option "-lf90io" to "ld" (the linker/loader) during the attempt to
link the "netcdf_test" program.  It further appears that "ld" has no
idea where this library is.

This indicates a problem with the installation of the NA FortranPlus
package.  I suggest verifying the installation.
