[netCDF #USB-983787]: Issues installing netcdf-fortran after netcdf-C

I can't duplicate your problem unless I first make a mistake that screws up the 
"libtool" configuration.
fix the mistake, and then configure and make check.

In particular, here is a sequence of commands that demonstrates the problem:

   $ CPPFLAGS=-I${NCDIR}/include LDFLAGS=-L{NCDIR}/lib ./configure 
--prefix=${NFDIR}
   $ make check  # gets an error because should have been LDFLAGS=-L${NCDIR}/lib
   $ CPPFLAGS=-I${NCDIR}/include LDFLAGS=-L${NCDIR}/lib ./configure 
--prefix=${NFDIR}
   $ make check  # gets the error you see

If you just run "make distclean" after the first error that apparently results 
in a misconfigured
libtool, then rerun configure and make check, everything works fine.  The hint 
of what was wrong
was in the "make check" output you sent, which had lots of error from "libtool" 
in the output before
the error you reported.

Please let us know if running a "make distclean" before the configure, or just 
starting over
from a fresh distribution doesn't fix the problem.
