[netCDF #YYO-369400]: netcdf-fortran-4.4.0 installation error

Sang-Mi

A fix to the problem you encountered with netCDF-Fortran version 4.4.0, 
contributed 
by Richard Weed, is now available in the developers' snapshot from GitHub:

    https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran

or you can wait for the release of version 4.4.1, which will be available soon.
