Here's the instructions for building netCDF-Fortran:

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

The error you are seeing seems to indicate that the "netcdf.inc"
file is not being found when you run the tests. Or maybe an older
netcdf.inc file is being found from a previous installation, for
example in /usr/include/netcdf.inc.

The fortran/netcdf.inc that comes with netcdf-fortran-4.4.2 has the
following statements:

      integer nf_char
   ...
      parameter (nf_char = 2)

which declare a type for the nf_char parameter, so any 
program that has the

      include 'netcdf.inc'

statement and uses the right compiler directive to tell where to
look for the netcdf.inc include file should get the type.

So the error you are seeing:

   make[2]: Entering directory 
`/lustre05/vol0/jojchi/Projects/REEMS/netcdf-fortran-4.4.2/nf_test'
   gfortran -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../libsrc   
-I/lustre05/vol0/jojchi/Projects/REEMS/mpi/include -I../fortran   -I../fortran 
-g -O2 -c -o test_get.o test_get.F
   test_get.F:29.50:

            canConvert = (var_type(i) .eq. NF_CHAR) .eqv.               
                                                  1
   Error: Symbol 'nf_char' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type
   test_get.F:35.34:

means that the gfortran compiler, when running in the fortran/ subdirectory, 
isn't finding the netcdf.inc file where it's specified to be with 
"-I../fortran".
I'm not sure why this error is occurring or how to fix it. The software compiles
fine here on our test platforms, with no errors. Check for the file 

   /lustre05/vol0/jojchi/Projects/REEMS/netcdf-fortran-4.4.2/fortran/netcdf.inc

to make sure it exists and is readable.

Possible solutions for the problems you aOther things you might try that seem 
unrelated to the error you are seeing might include:

  - setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to where the 
netCDF-C library is installed
  - setting environment variables F77 to mpif77 and F90 to mpif90 for 
supporting parallel I/O from Fortran
     or setting F77 and F90 to mpifort if you are using the ifort compiler
