Yes, you should just be able to run the patch.
As far as I know, 4.x is compatible with the previous
fortran interfaces, but your mileage may vary :-).
If I were you, I would try the patch first.
But another thought occurs, if you are only using fortran,
then you should be able to add the --disable-cxx flag
to your ./configure and bypass the whole problem.

New Client Reply: help with netcdf 3.4

Dennis,
I have thought about upgrading, I am trying to compile fortran code that was written back in 2001 that used 3.4. I am afraid if I upgrade to 4.0 or 4.1 then parts of this code will not compile. Do you know if 4.0 is backwards compatible with 3.4? Also do I just put the patch in the src/ directory and run it. Thanks for all your help. 

Sincerely,
Chris

Chris-
Ok, the problem is that our code is using iostream.h
and your compiler is a later version of c++.
You might be able to fix it by going into
the cxx directory and replacing all instances of
#include <iostream.h> by #include <iostream>.
But I have to ask, why are you using netcdf-3.4 rather than,
say, netcdf-4.0.1?
