Your problem should go away if you set some enviornment variables following
the example in:

yyy on platform zzz?

      builds in other environments
      http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/other-builds.html

      Linux x86 with Intel ifort 8.1 fortran compile

The list of environment variables is found in the last link.

I just installed the Intel Fortran compiler (evaluation copy) v9.1.036 on my
home machine running Fedora Core 5 and was able to build the netCDF 3.6.0-p1
distribution AND run all tests with no problems.  Notably, I also had to modify
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the directory in which the
Intel Fortran libraries were installed and PATH to include the directory in 
which
the Intel Fortran executables were installed.  This is what this looked like on 
my
system (it may differ on yours depending on where the Intel Fortran compiler
was installed):

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/opt/intel/fc/9.1.036/lib
PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/fc/9.1.036/bin

The set of environment variables that you will need to have defined before
running 'configure' are:

CPPFLAGS=-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/opt/intel/fc/9.1.036/lib
PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/fc/9.1.036/bin
F90=ifort
CFLAGS=-O2 -g
FC=ifort
CC=gcc
FFLAGS=-g -O2 -mp -auto

After defining these environment variables you need to create a fresh
netCDF installation.  Here is an example for a build of netcdf-3.6.0-p1:

cd netcdf-3.6.0-p1/src
make uninstall
make distclean
./configure
make
make install
make test

> thanks since now.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
