[netCDF #EDR-974201]: Need libnetcdff.so

I think this means that there is an error in the top-level Makefile.am file
for netcdf-fortran. As a rule, doing "make check" implies "make all".
Looks like there is a dependency error in the Makefile that causes "make check" 
to fail.

> This case can be closed. I found the problem to be that part of the "make 
> check" process was looking for something that was supposed to be created 
> during "make", which I had not run because the general instructions on the 
> NetCDF site do not say to run "make" on its own first. Once I ran "make", 
> then "make check", then "make install", everything worked as it should.
