Hi netcdf group:

We have installed netcdf 3.5 on a Linux system running RedHat 7.3.
I am using pgf90 4.0-2 to compile a small f90 code, and am getting
"undefined reference" errors:

(sundog) foster : gmake
pgf90 -c -I/opt/local/include rdmgcm.F
pgf90 -c -I/opt/local/include mkcdf.F
pgf90 -c -I/opt/local/include mkncfile.F
pgf90 -o mkcdf mkcdf.o  mkncfile.o      rdmgcm.o          -L/opt/local/lib 
-lnetcdf
mkncfile.o: In function `mkncfile_':
mkncfile.o(.text+0x110): undefined reference to `nf_create_'
mkncfile.o: In function `handle_ncerr_':
mkncfile.o(.text+0x77a): undefined reference to `nf_strerror_'
gmake: *** [mkcdf] Error 2
(sundog) foster : 

I am using #include "netcdf.inc" in mkncfile.F, and it is apparently
finding this file in /opt/local/include. The lib libnetcdf.a is in
/opt/local/lib, and it has both nf_create and nf_strerror.

I will attach the Makefile and mkncfile.F. Thanks for any suggestions,

--Ben
