[netCDF #YZR-242908]: NetCDF Fortran Source Code Beta Release

Hi,

> I have installed successfully the NetCDF 4.2 C Library.
> Now I want to install Fortran NetCDF Library. I downloaded

> I followed the procedure to install as mentioned website, which is as:
> 
> 1. CPPFLAGS=-I/home/include LDFLAGS=-L/home/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/lib 
> ./configure --prefix=/home
> 
> This worked well with any error. Then I did:

> 2. make check
> 
> Here is the problem: The output of make check is as:

> make check
> Making check in fortran

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 ...
