This is the case. The Intel fortran compiler is not one of the ones
that netCDF automatically configures for in the 3.6.0p1 release. I
hope to add this to the 3.6.1 release, and subsequent releases. As you
can imagine, customizing the configure for new compilers is an ongoing
chore, and I only got my local copy of Intel fortran a little while
ago.

Why not?

Sorry, I've fixed that. Try the settings there and see if they work
for you. 

source ~/local/bin/ifortvars.sh 
sh-3.00$ export CPPFLAGS=-DpgiFortran
sh-3.00$ export FC=ifort
sh-3.00$ export FFLAGS="-g -O2 -mp -recursive"

(Note that I have to source ifortvars.sh to get the intel compiler to
work on my machine - perhaps you are executing this automatically on
login, or something like that.)

Sorry, but my mail reader tells me that your BASE64 message below is
not right. I wonder if you could send the output of configure and make
test as plain ascii.

(Don't forget to do a make distclean before retrying the build).

Please let me know how this works out for you.

Thanks,

Ed
