The problem might have been a simple typo, using "gfortan" instead of 
"gfortran"  for FC, F90, F95, and F77.

If you're still having trouble, you might check the MacPorts port of the 
"netcdf-fortran" package for OSX.  Once
you have installed "port", it builds and installs all necessary libraries by 
just invoking:

  sudo port install netcdf-fortran
