I believe that the "Range error: No error" messages above stem from a
problem in the testing routine rather than with any problem with the
netCDF library itself.  I believe that it is caused by the following macros

    I_INT1_MAX
    I_INT1_MIN
    I_INT2_MAX
    I_INT2_MIN

getting the wrong values in the file "nf_test/tests.inc" (these macros
hold the value extrema for the given, internal, types).  For example, I
think the macro I_INT1_MAX is getting the value 127 on your system when
it should be getting the value 9223372036854775807.

I believe, therefore, that you can sucessfully ignore these messages.

I believe I've found the last error above.  Edit the file
fortran/fort-misc.c: change line 23 from

    NCID, FINT2CINT, PINT)

to

    NCID, FINT2CINT, PCINT2FINT)

After this change, recompile and retest.  If the only errors are the
"Range error" message, then go ahead and install the package.

At least!  :-)
