I built it on Mac OS X 10.1 and it worked fine out of the box,
with the addition of a flag for m4.  For details, see:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/russ/netcdf/INSTALL.html#macosx

The m4 flag is not even needed if you use the GNU m4 you get from fink.

The Fortran interface also worked with g77, which I installed using
fink.  We don't have any f90 compiler to try though, which is what I
assume the Absoft Fortran 7.0 is.  There are some hints for building
using Absoft on Linux that might help, at:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/other-builds.html#absoft-linux

I'd like to contribute netCDF 3.5.1 to the fink collection, but I
don't know what's required.  Maybe I'll have a chance to look into it
soon.  I love fink, and was sorry to see chrisp has left the project.

Thanks for the information!
