<address@hidden>,

The build completed successfully.  What is the problem?

I did see some warning messages from your "f77" compiler:

    make[2]: Entering directory 
`/usr/local2/seobi/sccm/netcdf-3.5.0/src/fortran'
    + f77 -c ftest.F
    ftest.F: In subroutine `tncacpy':
    ftest.F:187: warning:
                   call ncagt (outcdf, NCBYTE, attnam, bytval, iret)
                        1
    ftest.F:196: (continued):
                   call ncagt (outcdf, NCGLOBAL, attnam, shval, iret) 
                        2
    Argument #4 of `ncagt' is one precision at (2) but is some other precision 
at (1) [info -f g77 M GLOBALS]

These messages may be safely ignored. There is probably an option to
turn the messages off (e.g. "-Wno-globals").
