The above message contained the following:

We don't have access to a Linux system with the Lahey lf95 compiler, so
our advice on this matter is, necessarily, limited.  I checked the
netCDF user-support database at

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpsedocs/ghnetcdf.html

but didn't find a definitive success story.  The archive of the netCDF
mailing-list wasn't much better, although 

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/netcdfgroup-list/1473

was useful.

My best guess at a solution would be to

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 and 4 mentioned near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

    3.  Try the following environment variable settings:

            CC=/usr/bin/cc
            CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran'
            FC=/usr/local/lf9560/bin/lf95
            F90=/usr/local/lf9560/bin/lf95
            FFLAGS='-O'
            CXX=/usr/bin/g++

        The CPPFLAGS values differs from the one you tried (-Df2cFortran)
        and the FFLAGS variable doesn't have the "--ml cdecl" option.
        These are things that the mailing-list posting recommended.

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

Please let us know if the above helps.

Because we don't have much advice to offer, if the above doesn't work,
then I suggest that you try posting to the netCDF mailing-list.
