The only problem you seem to have encounted is in the "make test" for
the Fortran-90 interface:

    Making `test' in directory /usr/local/netcdf-3.5.1/src/f90

We don't have an in-house system that is similar to yours, so I can't 
attempt to duplicate your problem.  You seem to have correctly followed
the advice for building on a Linux system using the Intel Fortran-90
compiler, ifc, however, with the exception of the FLIBS environment
variable which is set to

    /opt/intel/compiler70/ia32/lib/libPEPCF90.a

in the example.

I note, however, that the advice doesn't explicitly cover the Fortran-90
interface: the environment variables explicitly cover the Fortran-77
interface only.  Therefore, I suspect that the problem might be that the
same options that were given to ifc(1) in order to compile the
Fortran-77 interface must also be given to ifc(1) when it compiles the
Fortran-90 interface.

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 of

            
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/INSTALL.html#ReportingProblems

    3. Set the environment variable F90FLAGS identically to FFLAGS, e.g.,

            export F90FLAGS=$FFLAGS

        or

            setenv F90FLAGS $FFLAGS

        depending on your user-shell.

    4.  You might wish to set both the FLIBS and F90LIBS environment
        variables to the string

            /opt/intel/compiler70/ia32/lib/libPEPCF90.a

        or whatever is equivalent on your system.  More information on
        this can be found at

    5.  Perform steps 6 through 9 of
