The above shows that the C macro "AbsoftProFortran" was not defined.  This
macro tells the C compiler that Absoft Fortran calling conventions
will be used when C functions are called by Fortran routines.  This 
documented at

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/other-builds.html#absoft-linux

Please do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source-directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 and 4 described at

    3.  Set the following environment variables to the indicated values:

            CC          c89
            CPPFLAGS    -DAbsoftProFortran -DNDEBUG
            CFLAGS      -O
            FC          f77
            FFLAGS
            CXX         c++

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described at
