Ok, I finally managed to fix the problem with GNU Fortran and --enable-netcdf-4.
The following patch is required, because gfortran nowi (>= 4.3?) adds a final _
to all
symbols by default. The patch is required also with cfortran.h 4.4.
Another problem is due to an oddity in fortran/Makefile.am
which requires a mandatory --with-hdf5=<path> among other options (in my case
path=/usr). That could be easily fixed also in the automake file. That
fix seems appropriate to me, because HDF5 support is required but a
path specification is not mandatory. The final result without this
patch is a lot of UNDEF symbols and a broken Fortran support.
