Yes.  The above means that an error occurred.  If you had followed the
instructions in the INSTALL file about reporting problems, then you
probably would have had the netCDF package installed by now.

On a Linux system, when using the native compilers, the C macro
"f2cFortran" must be defined.  This macro tells the C compiler to use a
specific set of Fortran-calling-C conventions.

Try the following:

    1.  To to the top-level, netCDF source directory.

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

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the
        string "-Df2cFortran".

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

Please let me know if this helps.
