Hi,

I started working on your reproducing your problem today, and noticed that 
a previously-installed netCDF-Fortran library can interfere with building
the new library with netcdf-fortran-4.4-beta1, because the include path
specified by CPPFLAGS (-I/home/include) gets put on the compiler invocation line
before the include path for the source code directory (-I../fortran), and
this can cause inclusion of the wrong header files or compiled module files.

I don't know if this is a problem in your case, but if you have previous Fortran
.inc or .mod files in /home/include, try deleting those first, before building
from netcdf-fortran-4.4-beta1.

I haven't got a solution for this problem yet and won't get to it again until
the middle of next week, but I hope to be able to reproduce it and diagnose the
cause by then ...
