[netCDF #SVG-148912]: Fortran could not compile .f90 files

Hi Scott,

The beta release you tried is designed to support Fortran-2003 and Fortran-90, 
as well as Fortran-77.  It supports --enable-f77 and --disable-f03 options, 
with which you can build a Fortran library that supports the F77 and F90 APIs.
However, you can't use just g77 for building this library, because it can't
compile F90 code needed in the new design of the library.

If you need to disable the F90 API as well, I recommend using the stable 
released 
version of the Fortran library, netcdf-fortran-4.2, available here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/netcdf-fortran/

It supports the --disable-f90 option, but I can't verify that it works with g77,
as I don't currently have access to an installed version of that compiler.
Please let us know if it doesn't work, and provide the details ...
