I think what you really want  to use on your compile line is the two
flags "-L" (to specify the directory) and "-l" to specify the library,
as in:

  f77 foo.f -L /data/storm8/kieucq/netcdf/netcdf-3.5.1/lib -lnetcdf -o foo

Or you could use the library without either "-L" or "-l", as in:

  f77 foo.f /data/storm8/kieucq/netcdf/netcdf-3.5.1/lib/libnetcdf.a -o foo
