[netCDF #CKR-952840]: Building NetCDF Fortran on Big Sur

Hello,

It appears that your environmental variable which should specify the compiler, 
'F77', is set to '/usr/local/lib'.  As a result, 'make' is trying to invoke 
that directory to compile your code, which would explain the permissions error 
you're seeing. Try setting the environmental variable F77 to 'gfortran', and 
see if this resolves the issue you're observing :).

Thanks!
