Chris,

The second problem you sent in is easier than the first, so I'll
answer it first.

The above error is probably caused by not having the C macro
"f2cFortran" defined in the environment variable CPPFLAGS (this is
necessary for g77 as well as for f2c).  There is an example of
environment variable settings that work for Linux in the installation
instructions at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html#linux

Try the following:

  - Perform steps 2 through 5 near the end of the INSTALL file.

  - Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the
    string "-Df2cFortran".

  - Perform steps 6 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.
