Howdy Mark!

Glad you got netCDF to compile for you.

It should work for gfortran without setting -ff2c anywhere.

However the 4.1.1 version of gfortran does require that I set -DpgiFortran. I 
will have the configure handle this automatically in the next beta release of 
3.6.2.

Thanks!

Keep on netCDFing!
