I think Jim is right. In fortran/ncfortran.h, there's the following code:

#if defined(f2cFortran) && !defined(pgiFortran) && !defined(gFortran)
. . .
#define nf_inq_libvers          nf_inq_libvers_
#define nf_strerror             nf_strerror_
. . .
#endif  /* f2cFortran */

This #if statement was getting reached by the 4.4.4 compilers, but not the 4.1.2 compilers.

I think this is because of the checking that's done in configure to see whether gFortran or f2cFortran need to be set.

"gfortran44" isn't recognized (I think), so it slips into the "else" part of a case statement:

             *)
                # If it's a gnu compiler, guess f2c.
                if test "x$ac_cv_fc_compiler_gnu" = xyes; then

$as_echo "#define f2cFortran 1" >>confdefs.h

                fi

The tool in netcdf to recognize the compiler is crude at best, I think that it just failed to recognize gfortran44 as being gfortran.

Mary,

There should be a compiler option that controls whether and how many underscores get added to external names by the compiler. It sounds like the default for that option has changed on you. I am not at work, so I cannot check what my gcc says about it. But, you should be able to easily find the option. Try gcc --help -v and gfortran --help -v.
