The above message contained the following:

> I've been having problems compiling the NetCDF library. It fails at the 
> 'make' stage, and I'm really not sure how to solve the problem.

The build procedure doesn't use the environment variable FCC.  I assume,
therefore, that you meant the environment variable F90.

The "make.log" file shows the following error (after reformatting):

You need to define in the environment variable CPPFLAGS the C macro that 
tells the C compiler what Fortran calling-conventions to use when it 
compiles the C functions that constitute the Fortran interface.  In your
case, the C macro that needs to be defined is "pgiFortran".

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:

            CC=gcc
            CPPFLAGS="-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran"
            CFLAGS=-O
            FC=ifort
            FLIBS=-Vaxlib
            FFLAGS="-O -mp -cm -w95"

        NOTES:
        
            A.  How this is done will depend on your user-shell.

            B.  The above settings are based on

                    
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/other-builds.html#intel-ifc%203.5.1-beta13

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described at
