[Support #AEO-830070]: Can't use netcdf with a new system and compiler combination

Hello Cheung,

Unfortunately I do not have a copy of the intel fortran compiler for OSX to 
test with, but I can confirm that this should not happen.  I am able to compile 
netcdf-fortran properly, and have it pass the tests, using the 'gfortran' 
compiler.  

You can install gfortran on OSX 10.10 using the 'homebrew' package manager.  
The homebrew webpage can be found here:

http://brew.sh

Once installed, you would install gfortran as follows:

    $ brew install gcc

When using homebrew, please note the following:

1. You should NOT run brew with sudo; it is designed to be run as your regular 
user.  It will provide more information about this when you install homebrew.
2. It should not overwrite your existing gcc/fortran compiler.  it did not on 
my system.  You should read any warnings it may give you.

Beyond this, I'm afraid I don't have any insight into the errors you are 
seeing.  Perhaps one of the other developers will chime in, if they see 
something I have missed.

I hope this helps,

-Ward
