Faye,

I finally verified the problem you reported, that the arguments "-Wl,-rpath 
-Wl,/tmp/netcdf/install/usr/lib" that are getting stuck on the end of your NAG 
f90 compiler invocation are also getting stuck on the end of our GNU Fortran 
compiler invocation on a similar platform.  The "-rpath" seems to be understood 
by the GNU Fortran compiler when it is used to link Fortran objects to 
libraries, but not by the NAG compiler.  The GNU compiler needs -fPIC to 
generate position independent code for a shared library, but the NAG compiler 
doesn't understand "-fPIC", so unless it generates position independent code by 
default, we need to find a way to get it the right option to generate code for 
shared libraries.  That's about as far as I can take this problem, but thanks 
for providing all the information we needed to verify the bug. We may be asking 
you some questions about NAG compiler options, since we don't have a NAG 
compiler that we can test with here.
