[netCDF #NTN-737861]: Install gfortran netcdf in Cygwin

Hello,

I'm afraid the version you are trying to install, netCDF 4.1.3, is quite old 
and is no longer supported.  Your best bet may be to try installing the netCDF 
libraries (first the C library, and then the Fortran library) from the cygwin 
package manager.  If this is not an option (I'm not very familiar with cygwin), 
you might download the C and Fortran libraries from the following links and 
install them from source; again, you will need to install first the C library 
and then the Fortran library.

* https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/releases
* https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran/releases

I'm sorry this is not an immediate fix, but hopefully it will get you on the 
right path.

Have a great day!
