[netCDF #JJC-982930]: error building Fortran netCDF on Mac OS X 10.8.2

Hi Marko,

Sorry to have taken so long to respond to your question ...
> I'm trying to build the netCDF Fortran libraries on Mac OS X Version 10.8.2.

> help is much appreciated.

The error message indicates "__gfortran_set_options" is not found, and that's
supposed to be supplied by the Fortran runtime library, not netCDF.  I think
you are seeing a problem with incompatibility between your gfortran and the 
gcc that comes with XTools.  I recommend you use a gfortran that has been built
to work with the OSX gcc that comes with XTools for OSX 10.8, for example from 
here:
