The file "typesizes.mod" (with capitalization variations) should have
been created in the "f90/" subdirectory of the source distribution.  If
it's still there, then you could manually copy it to the "include/"
installation subdirectory (where the file "netcdf.mod" should already
exist).

Otherwise, you can replace the file "Makefile" in the "f90/"
subdirectory with the enclosed, newer version and make its "install"
target.  If you go this route, then please let me know if the newer
makefile worked.

Note that there is no standard way to tell a Fortran-90 compiler where
the module files reside.  You'll have to consult the pgf90 guide for how
to do that.
