It would be useful to know what you get when you run

  nm ../fortran/.libs/libnetcdff.a | grep nf_open"

to see how the name of the nf_open function is encoded in the compiled
Fortran library.  Your mpif90 compiler is expecting one underscore to be
appended, as in "nf_open_", but not finding a function by that name.  If
two underscores are found appended, as in "nf_open__", then you will need
to change the compiler option in CPPFLAGS to reflect how C functions are
called from Fortran, probably by adding -DpgiFortran to CPPFLAGS for the 
netcdf build.
