Hello Bryce,

I'm afraid I don't have too much experience with the Intel compilers, but I can 
hazard at least one guess what is going on.  Since the failure is a run-time 
failure (when `conftest` is run), instead of a  compile-time failure, I wonder 
if the directory `/usr/local/mpi/intel/openmpi-1.4.3/lib64` needs to be added 
to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.  I would not *expect* this to be the case; it 
seems very cumbersome when you are talking about a runtime upon which a 
compiler depends.  Try adding/defining this path to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
variable and let me know what happens.

On another note, the netCDF Fortran interface is a separate library you will 
need to build; as such, you don't need to bother setting any fortran-related 
variables or options when building libnetcdf.  They shouldn't hurt, however; I 
just thought I'd mention it.

I hope this helps; let me know if this changes the behavior.  I will follow up 
if a different solution suggests itself to me.

Have a great day,

-Ward
