Sorry, but we don't create or maintain the yum install packages for netCDF,
so don't know how they are built or what to do when they don't work.  I
would be very surprised if the netcd-fortran.x86_64 package doesn't include
Fortran-90 support, because "yum info" says it's version 4.2, which is the
most current released version of netCDF-Fortran.

That's what I would recommend, following these instructions:
