Hmm... The above indicates that a Fortran-callable C routine merely
needs an underscore appended to the name.

The above looks OK, too.
I think that your Fortran compiler (f77, alias g77) might be appending
an additional underscore to routine name that contain an underscore,
i.e. "sub_routine" becomes "sub_routine__" rather than simply
"sub_routine_". This behavior is commonly seen in the Fortran-to-C
translation utility f2c(1) -- I don't recall seeing it in g77(1).
I suggest building the netCDF package assumming the f2c(1) Fortran-to-C
calling conventions:
1. Go to to the top-level source directory.
2. Execute the command "make distclean".
3. Set the environment variable CPPFLAGS to contain the string
"-Df2cFortran".
4. Re-execute the configure script.
Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
If this step fails, then send me the file and stop here.
5. Execute the command "make".
Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
If this step fails, then send me the file and stop here.
6. Execute the command "make test".
Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
If this step fails, then send me the file.
Please let me know if this helps.
