Howdy Johan!

I suggest you rebuild netCDF with your new fortran compiler.

NetCDF exposes some fortran functions based on what it thinks your compiler 
wants to see. If the PGI compiler changed significantly, then the netCDF 
library would have any functions that the new version of the PGI compiler can 
find.

This is just a theory, but give it a try and let me know.

Thanks!

Ed
