[netCDF #ILQ-730613]: Can't find 'netcdf MOD nf90 put att real'



Hi Natalie,

Probably not.  Any version of the netCDF C library > version 4.1.3 is
compatible with netcdf-fortran-4.2.  The most recent version of the
netCDF C library is netcdf-4.3.0, so that would currently have the most 
bug fixes for anything that works with netcdf-fortran-4.2.  But I suspect
the problem you are seeing is simpler than any recent bug fixed in the
netCDF C library, so netcdf-4.2.0 is probably OK.

If you have not built the netCDF Fortran as a shared library (for example 
by configuring with --disable-shared), then you need to link your Fortran 
programs using both the Fortran and C libraries, for example 

  gfortran myprog.f90 -o myprog -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdff 
-lnetcdf

and possibly other libraries as well.  You can see what's needed by
running the nf-config utility, which is installed when you build and 
install netcdf-fortran, like so

  nf-config --flibs

You can even use this on your compile line, for example:

  gfortran myprog.f90 -o myprog `nf-config --fflags --flibs`

If your system has the pkg-config program, you can use it instead,
as follows:

  gfortran myprog.f90 -o myprog `pkg-config --cflags --libs netcdf-fortran`

(For pkg-config, "cflags" means "compiler flags", so that's not a typo.)
