[netCDF #AFN-131282]: netCDF fortran install

Hi Clive,

We haven't seen that problem before, but I suspect it may be caused by
using a Fortran compiler that's not compatible with the C compiler you
used to build the C library.

You can use MacPorts to build and install "netcdf-fortran", which uses
compatible C and Fortran compilers to build and install the library and
all its dependencies, by just invoking the command

  sudo port install netcdf-fortran

though it takes a while to finish.  Alternatively, there are various versions
of gfortran that work with the Mac XCode C compiler, for example, see
