Howdy Roberto!

Looks like your portland group fortran compiler is messed up.

Firstly, do you need the fortran APIs at all? If not, try configure with 
--disable-f77, which will turn off both the F77 and the F90 APIs of netCDF.

If you do need to program with netCDF in fortran, you will have to fix or 
replace your fortran compiler. The GNU fortran compiler which comes with gcc 
works well, or you can contact portland group user support to find out what is 
wrong with your pgf77 compiler, or you can try reinstalling the portland group 
fortran compiler on your machine and try building netCDF again.

Let me know if this helps. 

Thanks,

Ed
