You say that the netCDF-Fortran library is installed, but can you see the 
library file 
/usr/local/lib/libnetcdff.a (note the double "f"), which would be the static 
netCDF
Fortran library, with permissions that allow you to read it?  Or, can you see 
the shared
libraries, with names something like:

  lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root      19 Apr  7 13:35 libnetcdff.so -> 
libnetcdff.so.0.0.0
  lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root      19 Apr  7 13:35 libnetcdff.so.0 -> 
libnetcdff.so.0.0.0
  -rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 1182022 Apr  7 13:35 libnetcdff.so.0.0.0

in that directory?  This is assuming you have installed netCDF 4.2 or later, in 
which the 
Fortran library is separated from the C library (and must be built separately, 
after the
C library has been successfully installed, as in ther instructions here:):

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

If instead you built netCDF from an earlier version, such as 4.1.3, in which it 
was still
possible to build both the C and Fortran libraries into a single library (but 
not for shared
libraries, which still had to be different libraries), then you would not see 
the separate
Fortran library.  But in that case, you should be able to still see the defined 
symbol in 
the library, using the "nm" command, as in

  $ nm --defined-only /machine/russ/installs/nc411/lib/libnetcdf.a | grep 
nf_inq_libvers
  0000000000000000 T nf_inq_libvers_

showing "nf_inq_libvers_" is there, with an extra "_" appended to the name by 
the Fortran
compiler.  (If you're not using GNU nm, you might have to grep for the name in 
the output
from nm -a ...).
