The functions declared in netcdf.inc, such as nf_create() are part of
the Fortran-77 interface to netCDF, which must be compiled before the
Fortran-90 interface, because the Fortran-90 interface depends on the
Fortran-77 interface.

Your previous message did not indicate that you were trying to build
the netcdf 3.5 Fortran-90 interface for Windows.  You can get prebuilt
Windows binaries from 

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.0.win32bin.ZIP

which includes the Fortran-77 interface, but not the Fortran-90
interface (as far as I know).  To build from source, get this ZIP file:

  
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.0.win32makeVC6.ZIP

(these make files are for Microsoft Visual C 6 and Digital Fortran 6,
you will have to modify for a different environment).  Then follow the
instructions here:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/WIN32_README.TXT

If you must have the Fortran-90 interface for Windows, I think you
will have to build from source.  We would be interested in any
modifications that are necessary to get this to work.  As far as I
know, the only reported success with the netCDF Fortran90 interface on
a Windows system required using the Absoft Fortran90 compiler rather
than the Digital Fortran compiler.  I'm CC:ing John Caron, in case he
knows more about this.
