The above message contained the following:

The only problem you had was the following:

This appears to be due to a bug in version 5 of the Portland Group 
Fortran-90 compiler (pgf90).  We are waiting to get that compiler so
that we can investigate the bug.

In the meantime, your options are

    1.  Don't build the Fortran-90 interface.  Go to the top-level
        source directory and perform steps 3 through 9 described at

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

        During step 5, set the environment variable to the empty string.

    2.  Wait until we solve the problem.

    3.  Use a different Fortran-90 compiler.
