Hi Andreas,

> I have been trying to install netcdf-fortran version 4.2 but I cannot get the 
> netcdf tests pass. Here is what I get:
> 
> /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=FC   --mode=link gfortran  -I../fortran -I../f90 
> -I../f90  -g -O2   -o tst_f90 tst_f90.o ../fortran/libnetcdff.la
> libtool: link: gfortran -I../fortran -I../f90 -I../f90 -g -O2 -o 
> .libs/tst_f90 tst_f90.o  ../fortran/.libs/libnetcdff.dylib

The above line indicates that it's using the Fortran library in 
libnetcdff.dylib, but not the C netCDF library,
which needs to have been already installed before you try to build the Fortran 
library, since Fortran netCDF
calls C netCDF functions.

For the instructions you should be using, see:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-fortran-install.html

and in particular, make sure you use the configure option (or environment 
variable
setting 

   ... CPPFLAGS=-I{DIR1}/include LD_LIBRARY_PATH={DIR1}/lib LDFLAGS=-lnetcdf

as described in step 3 of the instructions, where "DIR1}" is where you installed
the netCDF C library.
