[netCDF #EZD-873215]: netcdf on linux 2.6

Hi Gaby,

Very good.

A couple of notes here:

- the '-l' syntax is designed to be used as a shorthand to reference
  libraries without having to specify the full name.  Here is
  an example snippit:

   -L/home/turekg/local/lib -lnetcdf

- second, the way you are using your '-L' specification presumes that
  you are in a particular directory.  Even then it should be more explicit.

- third, your ifort invocation is not doing any compiling, so you can
  leave out the directives to search include directories as these are
  only used during compiles

For instance, I would rewrite your first ifort invocation line as:

ifort -g -L/home/turekg/local/lib -lnetcdf -o a.out *.f90

OK.  I will let Ed know that the binary distribution of the library does not 
have
needed Fortran entry points.


Cheers,

Tom
