[netCDF #IUJ-300108]: Installation of netcdf-fortran-4.4.1

Hello,

First, I notice you are using the path '/home/ed/...'; this is an example path, 
assuming a user account named `ed` exists; unless this is actually the case, 
you will want to adjust the path to reflect your local file system.

Next, I would recommend against running 'make check' with sudo, for exactly the 
reason you mention; you lose the environmental variables.   You may run make 
check as your normal account, and use 'sudo' when you run make install.

Once you've adjusted your path and tried running 'make check' without using 
'sudo', please let me know if the error persists and we will proceed from there.

Thanks!
