So you can't use g77 for the F77 API and Absoft for the F90. You can, however, use absoft for both. Is the absoft f90 compiler called "f90"? I will assume so for the following... Try this: make distclean FC=f90 ./configure make check If this doesn't work, try setting the flags suggested here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/other-builds.html#macos-10.5-absoft Let me know if this doesn't help.
