> LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure --disable-shared --enable-netcdf-4 
> --enable-dap --with-libcf --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf4-g95

Howdy Mark!

I have fixed this in the codebase, both in the main trunk and the 4.1.3 branch. 
I am regenerating the snapshot release now - perhaps you could grab it and let 
me know if it works for you now.

Thanks,

Ed
