Kara,

Another possibility is that you built a separate Fortran library
that is not in libnetcdf.a.  This would happen if you invoked
configure with the "--enable-separate-fortran" option, or if you
specified that shared libraries should be built using the
"--enable-shared" option to configure.  There would have been an
extra library installed that you could check for, named
"libnetcdff.a".  In that case, you would have to mention the
extra Fortran library when linking, as in

  gfortran -o simple_xy_wr simple_xy_wr.o /sw/lib/netcdf/libnetcdff.a
  /sw/lib/netcdf/libnetcdf.a

or the shorter

  gfortran -o simple_xy_wr simple_xy_wr.o -L/sw/lib/netcdf -lnetcdff -lnetcdf

If neither of these work, then check whether the number of underscores
in the external names in libnetcdf.a match the number of underscores in
the undefined symbols, using something like

  nm -a /sw/lib/netcdf/libnetcdf.a | grep nf_close

If they don't match, then may you need to "make distclean" and rerun the
configure script with the CPPFLAGS environment variable set to
"-DgFortran".  If that still doesn't work, please let us know.

(Yup, already went to the Boulder  Creek Festival yesterday, and keeping
up with netCDF support is one thing to do while waiting for the barbecue
grill to warm up :-).
