Your report is the first I've seen on the problem you're having building
the netCDF package under RedHat 9.

Would you please send me the file "configure.log" (NOTE: not
"config.log") which you'll find described near the end of the file
INSTALL.html.

The file "typeSizes.f90" should already exist in the "f90/" subdirectory
because it's part of the distribution. Does it exist? If so, what
happens if you drop into that subdirectory and execute the command "make
clean all"?

Some make(1)s attempt to process their targets in parallel.  Is there an
option to your make(1) that will prevent this?
