For the Intel Fortran compiler (ifc) the C macro "pgiFortran" should
be defined instead of "f2cFortran".

Please try the following:

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

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described at

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

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the
        string "-DpgiFortran".

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described at
