Hi,

> I have been attempting to install netcdf for use in both atmospheric and
> land surface modeling. The version of netcdf I am attempting to install is
> 4.2.  I am using gcc and g95 for the c and FORTRAN compilers.  I am able to

> Perhaps that is not the best word to use, lets say they run without error.
> Once installation is complete, I have noticed that the install did not

I suspect that you have installed the C libraries using the netcdf-4.2 
distribution, but you haven't installed the Fortran libraries from the 
separate netcdf-fortran-4.2 distribution.  Beginning with version 4.2, 
the APIs for C, Fortran, and C++ are separate distributions:

Here are instructions for building and installing the Fortran release,
 after the C library has been installed:
