Mary,

Yes.  The file "typeSizes.o" should be in the library "libnetcdf.a".
Your makefile "f90/Makefile" has a bug in it that causes this object
file to *not* be added to the library.  The makefile will be fixed in
the next release.

I suggest modifying the makefile -- adding the string "typeSizes.o" to
the LIB_OBJS macro -- then executing a "make" in the "f90/"
subdirectory.  You should see the module being added to the netCDF
library.

Please let me know if this helps.
