I think the problem is you aren't telling f77 (or whatever Fortran
compiler you are using) where to find the netCDF include files or
libraries.  For example, if they are installed by fink in /sw/include
and /sw/lib, you have to specify that on the command line, such as:

  f77 -o simple_xy_wr -I/sw/include simple_xy_wr.f -L/sw/lib -lnetcdf

or it they're installed in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib, then
you need to use something like:

f77 -o simple_xy_wr -I/usr/local/include simple_xy_wr.f -L/usr/ local/lib -lnetcdf

Where the include files and libraries get installed depends on what was

specified using --prefix=WHEREVER on the command line of the configure

script if you are building from source. The default with version 3.6.2

is /usr/local/.  I think the default with fink is /sw.

We know netCDF 3.6.2 works fine "out of the box" for Mac OS X 10.4. The

output from the configure script, and the "make check install" step is
here:
