I'm compiling a local copy of netcdf on a institutionally maintained
machine (hence the older version of gfrotran). On my personal development
machine (which has gfortran 4.8.2) it compiles fine.  Is there a work
around for the older version of gfortran?  Should I use an older version of
netcdf-fortran and/or netcdf-c?  Do I need to roll back to a version of
netcf before the c and fortran packages were separated? If I do need to
roll back my version of netcdf which version is recommended? The code I
will compile with the netcdf libraries does not use compression or groups
so the hdf5 and zlib libraries just in case I need the netcdf utilities to
handle a newer netcdf file from elsewhere.

zlib-1.2.7 compiles OK
hdf5-1.8.10-patch1 compiles OK
netcdf-c-4.3.3.1 compiles OK
netcdf-fortran-4.4.2 does not compile
