[netCDF #JAF-118152]: error in the path of netcdf in compiling

Hi Sara,

> I try to find the path where my netcdf is installed but I can't find it.

The default location for netCDF installation is /usr/local/lib for the
libraries. /usr/local/bin for the utility programs, /usr/local/include
for the header files, and /usr/local/share for the doumentation.

It doesn't install a directory or file named "netcdf". Instead a number
of files are installed for libraries, utility programs, header files,
etc.  For example:

That indicates the installation prefix for you is /usr instead 
of /usr/local.

Instead of "-I/usr/local/bin/include", use "-I/usr/include" in the
above gfortran command line, and similarly for other cases.

You might also try the "nf-config" command that is supposed to
make this simpler:

  gfortran cf90_routines.f90 -o cf90 `nf-config --fflags --flibs`
