The Fortran-77 and Fortran-90 libraries are both included with the
netCDF distribution, as are C and C++ libraries.  The Fortran
libraries are not available separately because they are just thin
veneers over the C library and thus would not be of any use without
the C library. 

You can get the whole netCDF source distribution including the source
code for all the above libraries here:

 ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.Z

and instructions for building and installing on common platforms here:

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

Alternatively, if you just want the compiled binary library for a
platform on which we have built it, you can just download that:
