Hi 

I recently picked up netcdf v3.5.0 for use on a Redhat Linux v6.1
system with the AbSoft ProFortran v6 f90 compiler.

It is working ok.  But as with builds of previous versions of netcdf,
I had to do a few manual customizations in the build process in order
for it to install on the above system.  I thought you might like to have
my notes for possible use in helping others with a similar system.

A summary of the steps I used follows.

Thanks for continuing to develop and provide the netcdf package,

 Unpack the distribution tarball as usual.

 Ensure the AbSoft f90 compiler is in the PATH environment variable.

 Set the environment variables:
   CC gcc
   FC "f90"
   F90 "f90"
   CXX ""
   CFLAGS ""
   FFLAGS ""
   F90FLAGS ""
   CXXFLAGS ""

 cd .../netcdf-3.5.0/src

 ./configure --prefix=directory_path_to_install_into

 cd fortran

 Edit cfortran and add following line near top

  #define AbsoftProFortran

 cd .../netcdf-3.5.0/src
 make

 Don't do "make test", since it will fail at some link
 steps with unsatisfied external references to command
 line argument routines iargc and getarg.

 cd .../netcdf-3.5.0/src
 Edit macros.make and change the line:
  NETCDF.MOD = netcdf.mod
 to:
  NETCDF.MOD = NETCDF.mod

 make install
