Howdy Sumit!

Firstly, this is just a test program problem, not a netCDF library problem. So 
you could just ignore this.

Your fortran compiler is being a lot more picky than mine is! Mine does not 
complain that the strings below are of different lengths, but yours does.

       (/ 'byte', 'short', 'int', 'float', 'double', 'ubyte', 'ushort', 'uint' 
                 1
Error: Different CHARACTER lengths (4/5) in array constructor at (1)
f90tst_parallel3.f90:96.35:

I have changed the code so that it now reads:
  character (len = *), parameter :: var_name(NUM_VARS) = &
       (/ 'byte__', 'short_', 'int___', 'float_', 'double', 'ubyte_', 'ushort', 
'uint__' /)

So now all of the variable names used by the test program will be the same 
length. Perhaps your compiler will still find other problems with the code that 
mine is not, but if you want to give it a try, get the latest snapshot:
