The line above indicates a problem with the Fortran compiler.

The above line indicates a severe problem with the Fortran compiler.

The "f90" in the above line is inconsistent with the earlier "cf77".  I
suspect that the output from the configure script is out-of-sync with
respect to the file "config.log".

Does the file "libsrc/ffio.h" exist?  If so, then try executing the
following command manually in the "libsrc/" subdirectory.

    c89 -c -O -I.  -DNDEBUG ncio.c

Does it fail?

Please answer the above questions.  Then, try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level, netCDF, source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

    3.  Remove the file "config.cache" if it exists.

    4.  Move the file "libsrc/ncx.c" to "libsrc/ncx.c.orig".

    5.  Copy the file "libsrc/ncx_cray.c" to "libsrc/ncx.c".

    6.  Set the following environment variables to the indicated values.

            CPPFLAGS=-DNDEBUG
            CC=c89
            CFLAGS=-O
            FC=f90              # ensure that "f90" exists on your
                                # system, can be found, and works!
            FFLAGS='-F -dp -O2'
            CXX=""

    7.  Execute the configure script.
        Redirect both standard error and standard output to the same
        file.  If an error occurs, then stop, send me the file, and also
        the file "config.log".

    8.  Execute the command "make".
        Redirect both standard error and standard output to the same
        file.  If an error occurs, then stop and send me the file.

    9.  Execute the command "make test".
        Redirect both standard error and standard output to the same
        file.  If an error occurs, then stop and send me the file.

    10. Execute the command "make install".
        Redirect both standard error and standard output to the same
        file.  If an error occurs, then stop and send me the file.

    11. Execute the command "make clean".
