[Support #ZZD-609494]: netCDF 3.6.2 build on Ubuntu 7.10

> I am trying  to build NetCDF 3.6.2 on Ubuntu 7.10, 32bit using Intel Fortran
> (ifort) v10.0.026.  I have tried going through the build both as sudo and as
> root but it doesn't work.  I have pulled off all other Fortran compliers so
> that it should be forced to use the ifort compiler.

You can just set the environment variable FC to the name of your
fortran compiler, before you run the configure script. If FC is set,
the build will use the fortran compiler specified.

This indicates that the build can't figure out what fortran compiler
you are using, and how to build the fortran API for you.

Try again, but set CPPFLAGS to -DpgiFortran first.

(Do a "make distclean" and then start over again, after setting the above.)

Some successful settings for intel fortran have been reported from users:

Please let me know if this doesn't work for you.

Thanks!
