Hi Sophie,

I assume this means that you ran "make check" and "make install", and both 
completed
successfully.

Try

  gfortran -I/opt/local/include test.f -o test -L/opt/local/lib -lnetcdff 
-lnetcdf

That was missing the "-L/opt/local/lib" ...

Please let us know if the gfortran invocation line above doesn't work.
