Thanks for reporting the problem.  Unfortunately, there doesn't seem
to be a standard place to install Fortran 90 module files, nor a
standard for the case of module file names.  Currently our
f90/Makefile in the beta release is supposed to handle all the
variants

  netcdf.mod  NETCDF.mod  
  netcdf.MOD  NETCDF.MOD

and

  typesizes.mod  typeSizes.mod  TYPESIZES.mod  
  typesizes.MOD  typeSizes.MOD  TYPESIZES.MOD

and handle them the same way, so I don't understand why the module
files aren't geting installed in the include directory.  We'll have to
see if we can duplicate the problem here ...
