[netCDF #FRO-492157]: 'make check install' errors (doesn't even get to install)

Are you literally using "${DIR1}" without first defining the DIR1 environment
variable to be the path name of where the netCDF C library is installed?  That 
won't work, because an empty string will be substituted for ${DIR1},
and similarly for the subsequent assignments to CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

Try setting DIR1=/usr/local before defining LD_LIBRARY_PATH, CPPFLAGS, 
and LDFLAGS.

The reason ${DIR1} is in italics in the instructions for building netCDF-Fortran
is to indicate that it's not something you should use literally, but instead
substitute the directory that was the prefix for your netCDF C library 
installation.

(The later notation *{DIR1}* in the instructions is actually a mistake in the 
documentation that should instead be an italicized "${DIR1}", so that's 
probably also confusing.)
