[netCDF #RKI-518277]: NetCDF-Fortran 4.4.2 make check libtool error

I noticed you're on a Mac, and as it says in the netCDF Fortran 
install instructions:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/building_netcdf_fortran.html

for OSX you need to use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Here's what works for us:

  NCDIR=~/installs/ncss   # wherever the netCDF C library was installed
  NFDIR=${NCDIR}          # or wherever you want to install netCDF-Fortran
  DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${NCDIR}/lib:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}" \
  CPPFLAGS="-I${NCDIR}/include" LDFLAGS="-L${NCDIR}/lib" \
  ./configure --prefix=$NFDIR
  make check
  make install

That's assuming you installed the netCDF-C library as a shared library,
which is the default.

Also, here's a recent step-by-step explanation from a user on OSX:

Your config.log file still looks OK, but if you get another
error from "make check" after trying the above, could you
please send the output from "make check" as well?
