Matthew,

I notice that the latest version (2.4) of the Mac OS X Developer Tools 
(available for download from the Apple Developer Connection, 
developer.apple.com, free to registered developers) adds support for 64-bit 
Intel based Mac computers.  I'm just trying to set up a testing environment 
that will use Developer Tools 2.4.1 and the latest versions of g95 and gfortran 
from fink (fink.sourceforge.net) to see if we can reproduce problems with 
building from source on Intel Mac OS X platforms.  Currently all our testing is 
on a PowerPC G5 platfrom, where things works fine with either g95 or gfortran.

I'm surprised if you built the netCDF library, libnetcdf.a, from source on an 
Intel platform and you got a ppc library.  Did you run "make install" to make 
sure the new library was installed where you had specified with the "--prefix" 
argument to the configure script?  If not, can you try linking with 
netcdf-3.6.1/src/libsrc/libnetcdf.a in the source directory instead of whatever 
is in /usr/lib/libnetcdf.a?  If the library in the source directory is a ppc 
library, something is very wrong.

Until we get our Intel MacOSX development and testing environment set up here 
(which may be a few days), you might also check where the g77 and g95 you have 
came from, and that they are compatible with the version of Mac OS X and Intel 
platform you are using.  It's possible you might have to build and install g77 
and g95 from source.  When you run the netCDF "configure" script it attempts to 
compile with the Fortran compilers it finds, and it would also be helpful to 
look at the output of running "configure", after you have run "make clean".  If 
that indicates problems you can't diagnose, it would be helpful to supply the 
information requested in the "Reporting Problems" link on the netCDF home page:
