Hi Andrew,

One problem is the way you are specifying the vector literal in the
nf90_put_att call.  If you change

  status=nf90_put_att(ncid,ait4id,"valid_range",(-100,100))

to

  status=nf90_put_att(ncid,ait4id,"valid_range",(/ -100,100 /))

the correct nf90_put_att() function will be found and output.f90
should compile OK.

Another problem is the way you are specifying libraries to link in the
makefile.  There should be no space between "-l" and "netcdf" on the
line

  pathss = -L /opt/netcdf/lib -lnetcdf -M/opt/netcdf/include

to find the installed netCDF library.  The space is optional for ld,
but seems to not work for f90, at least on our Solaris 2.7 system.
