The above message contained the following:

I don't know about SuSE 7.0, but the netCDF package has been
successfully built on other Linux Systems.

This is a common problem on Linux systems. Basically, you need to
ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the string
"-Df2cFortran" before executing the configure script. Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory of the 3.5 package.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 that you'll find near the end of the
        file INSTALL.html.

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

            export CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran

        or

            setenv CPPFLAGS -Df2cFortran

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 that you'll find near the end of the
        file INSTALL.html.
