Try using the linker flag -lnetcdff instead of -lnetcdf, or both at
the same time.  This depends on how your netcdf library was built.
Some builds have separate C and Fortran libraries.  The fortran
library versions have "netcdff" with two f's in the file name, where
the C versions have only one f.  Check this for yourself in your
netcdf/lib directory.

Please send further replies *only* to netcdfgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
