That line is just calling nf90_create to create a netCDF file:

  ! Create the file
  call check(nf90_create(path = trim(fileName), cmode = nf90_clobber, ncid = 
ncFileID))

Another test program before this one, tst_f90_nc4, has already successfully 
called 
nf90_create successfully.  So I can't determine why the above statement is 
getting
a segmentation violation.  Perhaps you were running the test in a temporary 
directory 
that got deleted while your program was swapped out, or you have just run out 
of disk 
space?  It doesn't seem like those sorts of conditions should cause segmentation
violations ...

Sorry, I can't reproduce the problem or determine its cause from the output you 
sent.

Just for your information, it was not necessary to compile HDF5 with 
--enable-fortran.
The netCDF Fortran library uses the netCDF C library and HDF5 C library under 
that, but 
makes no use of the HDF5 Fortran library.  However, that should not have caused 
the 
problem you are seeing.
