Howdy Izaro!

Get the latest beta DLL from here:

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/win32_pgi_dll.tar.gz

This contains a DLL (libnetcdf-4.dll), and the netcdf.inc file for fortran.

(Note that this is a new name for the DLL, so change that in your environment.)

This is experimental, but I hope it will work for you. Please let me know!

Thanks,

Ed
