I should have noticed you were using --disable-shared.  The instructions I
gave assumed you were using the default of shared libraries.

> libtool: link: gfortran -I../fortran -I../f90 -g -O2 -o nf_test test_get.o 
> test_put.o nf_error.o nf_test.o test_read.o test_write.o util.o fortlib.o  
> -L/home/clouds/cosp.v1.3.2/config/lib ../fortran/.libs/libnetcdff.a
> ../fortran/.libs/libnetcdff.a(fort-attio.o): In function `nf_put_att_text_':
/home/clouds/cosp.v1.3.2/install/netcdf-fortran-4.2/fortran/fort-attio.c:15: 
undefined reference to `nc_put_att_text'

That error is becasue "-lnetcdf" is missing, after the "-lnetcdff".
I think things will work if you try the configure again with
LDFLAGS="-L/home/clouds/cosp.v1.3.2/config/lib -lnetcdf", though if
the netCDF C library was built static instead of shared, you will
also need additional libraries in LDFLAGS, whatever "nc-config --libs"
shows are needed, for the nc-config that "make install" installed when
you built the netCDF C library.  So another way to set it would be to
use
LDFLAGS="`nc-config --libs`"

If that doesn't work, please let me know and we'll try to figure it out
from the resulting config.log and make check output.
