From the looks of your "test.log" file:

the cause of your problems could be the proprocessing of .F files by 
the Fortran preprocessor.

From other email that we've received from NAG Fortran users, I believe
that NAG f95 is able to correctly preprocess *.F files; consequently,
the FPP setting above should be unnecessary.  See, for example,

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/msgout?/glimpse/netcdf/4472

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 and 4 described at

            
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/INSTALL.html#ReportingProblems

    3.  Set the following environment variables to the indicated values

            setenv CC /usr/bin/gcc
            setenv CPPFLAGS "-DNDEBUG -DNAGf90Fortran"
            setenv CFLAGS -O
            setenv FC /usr/local/bin/f95
            setenv FFLAGS "-O -dusty -w"
            setenv F90 /usr/local/bin/f95
            setenv F90FLAGS "-O -w=unused -mismatch_all"
            unsetenv FPP

        Note that the FPP environment variable is unset.

        What does the "-dusty" flag do?

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described at

Please let me know if this helps.
