It's possible that the C compiler you are using from /usr/bin/gcc is
not compatible with the gfortran you are using, because gfortran is
not available from Apple, but /usr/bin/gcc, is from the Apple XCode
developer tools, but you may have gotten gfortran from the fink 
software packaging system.  I believe that gfortran requires at least 
gcc 4.3, so if your version of gcc is earlier than this, it may not
work with gfortran.

You can get a binary of netcdf with gfortran support from the fink
package management system, as described here in the comment from Roy:

  http://www.macresearch.org/how-install-netcdf-gfortran-libraries

and the fink system will make sure you have a compatible gcc
installed.  You can also get gfortran and a matching gcc 4.3 version 
doirectly from macreasearch:

There's a bit more information here:

If the links above still don't help, I recommend posting your question
to the address@hidden mailing list.  I think there are
users on that list who have compiled with gfortran on Mac laptops ...
