[netCDF #ESV-218399]: problems linking fortran with netcdf.inc



Hi Kris,

> I've written code to read a netcdf file in fortran 90.  I have the

> 
> In my code, I have the statement: INCLUDE 'netcdf.inc'

If you built shared rather than static libraries using the configure option
--enable-shared, or if you requested a separate Fortran library using the
configure option --enable-separate-fortran,  then you need to specify one
more library on the link command, -lnetcdff.  So instead of

  gfortran -o ncread_test ncread_test.o -L/usr/local/netcdf/lib -lnetcdf

try

  gfortran -o ncread_test ncread_test.o -L/usr/local/netcdf/lib -lnetcdf 
-lnetcdff

If that doesn't work, make sure you don't have an older shared library for 
netCDF
installed some place that will be searched first, such as /usr/lib.  If so and 
if
that library didn't include a Fortran interface, that would also cause the 
symptom
you are reporting.
