[netCDF #YWH-955421]: Error during "make check," NetCDF 4.2 Fortran libs, Janus supercomputer

Dan,

> The logs for "configure," "make" and "make check" are attached.

In your configure output, the following lines means the header file for
the netCDF C library is found, but not the library:

> checking for netcdf.h... yes
> checking for library containing nc_open... no
> checking for nc_def_opaque... no
> checking for nccreate... no

The location of the netCDF library should have been specified with the
LDFLAGS environment variable, which I see you've set as

> LDFLAGS=-L/curc/tools/x_86_64/rh5/netcdf/4.2/hdf5/1.8.8/openmpi/1.4.5/intel/12.1.4/lib

Is there actually a netCDF library in that directory, with a name like 
libnetcdf.a?  If not,
it looks like there's a problem with the PATH you used ...

Also, I see you've explicitly turned off shared libraries with the 
"--disable-shared"
configure option.  Have you tried building with shared libraries?
