The above command should compile (but not link) the file putcdf.f

> nf_get_att_text_                    putcdf.o 

The above errors indicate problems when trying to link-together a
program.

Are you sure the command you executed was "f90 -c putcdf.f"?  Could you
have used the "-o" option?

Is there someone there to whom you could show this?
