If you choose to bypass the configure step, it will be difficult to help
much, because the configure script creates the "macros.make" file and
making inconsistent changes to this generated file "voids your warranty"
:-).  Nevertheless, I'll try to help.  The output from "make all test"
shows the C interface works fine.  

Yes, the netCDF-2 and netCDF-3 FORTRAN interfaces are in the "fortran/"
directory, and the output shows both of these were compiled into the
library.  Also, the test of the netCDF-2 FORTRAN interface succeeded.

However the test of the netCDF-3 FORTRAN interface failed because it's
trying to use a C++ compiler on Fortran code!

The "ftest.F" file is Fortran code that has preprocessor directives in
it.  The Fortran compilers on IRIX handle ".F" files and their
preprocessor directives, but "CC" can't be used for this purpose.  The
use of CC where a Fortran compiler is needed is probably the result of
some change you have made to macros.make.

Several of the settings for IRIX systems under the "TESTED SYSTEMS"
section in the INSTALL document of the netCDF 3.3.1 distribution were
missing quotes and contained some unnecessary flags, as described in our
"Known Problems" web page, at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/known_problems.html

A corrected version of the INSTALL document is available from

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL

If you follow the procedures in this INSTALL document from a new
unmodified copy of the current netCDF release, things may work better.
If you run into problems, just send us all the information requested
under the "IF PROBLEMS OCCUR" heading of the INSTALL document, and we'll
try to help.
