As of version 4.1.3, we no longer support having Fortran, C, and C++ libraries 
all in 
the same library.  They have to be linked separately.  An announcement of this 
and the
reasons why are in these 3 postings to the netcdfgroup mailing list:

  
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/netcdfgroup/2011/msg00071.html

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/netcdfgroup/2011/msg00377.html

I'm afraid users will have to change their Makefiles to add -lnetcdff after 
-lnetcdf,
unless you can find a way to use your linker to combine the two libraries into 
one that
will also work for shared libraries.
