20010117: netcdf on a linux (redhat 6.2): don't need Fortran API

Serge,

Sorry for taking so long to respond.  We just had a holiday and an
office-moving day.

The above message contained the following:

I see the problem.  You need to tell the configure script that you don't
wan't the Fortran API.  Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 near the end of the INSTALL file.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variables FC and F90 are set to the
        EMPTY STRING, e.g.

            export FC=''
            export F90=''

        or

            setenv FC ''
            setenv F90 ''

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.

Please let me know if this helps.
