OK, I see this on their web page. But I still don't think they use the fortran
API.

Try building a shared C-only netCDF library, for Scientific Python to use, and
another, static library, with fortran, for your fortran programs to use.

So for scientific python:

make distclean && ./configure --enable-shared --disable-cxx --disable-f77
--disable-utilities --disable-examples --prefix=/somewhere && make check
install

Please let me know if this works.

Thanks!

Ed
