Howdy all!
In olden times, the F77 API was jammed into the same .a file as the C
API. This worked fine until shared libraries came along.
With shared libraries, a separate F77 library is needed. This is now the
default when building netCDF. The new F77 library is called libnetcdff.a
(note the extra "f" at the end).
Software that uses the F77 API must now use -lnetcdff.
