Re: [netcdfgroup] Compiling netCDF in Fortran

If you did a recent install using fink, it has the option set to separately 
compile the fortran library from the C library, so your compile line would need 
something like

 -L/sw/lib -lnetcdf  -L/sw/lib/netcdf-gfortran/ -lnetcdff

However, if it is from a recent install, I wouldn't be surprised if g77 fails 
and you would need to use gfortran instead.  But give it a try.
