[netCDF #ZFY-843585]: undefined reference to NetCDF functions

Hello James,

When compiling your program, try passing the '-lnetcdff' argument to gfortran, 
e.g.

    $ fortran -I /home/james/local/include sdfsd.F90 -L /home/james/local/lib 
-lnetcdf -lnetcdff -o sdfsd

This should address the undefined fortran references.

Let me know if this doesn't work, or if you have any further questions.
