I already use it, that's where g95 came from.. and one of the netcdf  
attempts.

Failed: no package found for specification 'netcdf-gfortran'!
Failed: no package found for specification 'netcdf-g95'!

I'll assume, then, that you meant to use fink to install those  
separately?

Well if I install netcdf first, I can't be sure which compiler it  
will build the fortran libraries for.. so I must add that first?

Can't install gfortran with fink, so (re-) installed g77 (and g95 of  
course) with fink. Rehashed. Installed fink netcdf again.

No change:

[lea:Working/programs/netcdf_sandbox] ianharri% f77 -o simple_xy_wr  
simple_xy_wr.f
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_nf_close__
_nf_create__
_nf_def_dim__
_nf_def_var__
_nf_enddef__
_nf_put_var_int__
_nf_strerror__
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Harry
