I note that gfortran 4.3.0 is two versions ahead of the stable release of gfortran, which is 4.1.2. In fact, other than their SVN repository, I can't even find a distribution of gfortran 4.3.0 to try this out on. Did you get gfortran from the SVN repository and build it? I see that another Mac user is also contacting support with a gfortran 4.3 issue. Where are you mac people getting 4.3? You seem to be ahead of the crowd! I test on a mac with a 4.0.3 version of gfortran. I believe that, last time I tried, that was the most advanced version I could get to build there. NetCDF does work fine with 4.0.3 on the Mac, and with 4.1.2 on other platforms. Can you try an earlier version of gfortran?
