Fortran libraries are a bit of a mess, especially f90 libraries since as
you observed the module files are compiler vendor and version specific.
There is also no standard place where fortran modules should get
installed. I think the fedora people decided to install them
into /usr/lib/modules or so. if you want to use the intel compilers than
you will need to compile netcdf yourself (or get your sys-admin to do
so). I'd suggest to install netcdf into the
prefix /usr/local/intel_VERSION/. Then compile your code with
ifort -I/usr/local/intel_VERSION/include
-L/usr/local/intel_VERSION/lib ...

alternative you can install netcdf in your home directory. BTW, I am
assuming you are using Linux or some other Unix like OS.
