Would you please try the following:

    1.  Go into the "f90/" subdirectory of your netCDF source distribution.

    2.  Edit the file "Makefile": change the definition of the macro 
        "HEADER" from "$(NETCDF.MOD)" to "NETCDF.mod".

    3.  Go up to the parent directory.

    4.  Retry your "make install".

Please let me know if this works.

The problem is that different Fortran-90 compilers create
differently-named netCDF module files (e.g. "netcdf.mod", "NETCDF.mod").

This problem should be fixed in the next release.
