Hello,
I am trying to install the ocean modelling software ROMS and one of the prerequisites is installing netcdf via cygwin64 following the steps shown in 'https://www.myroms.org/wiki/ROMS_Cygwin#Install_NetCDF'.
In the process I obtained the following error:
Adrian@LAPTOP-1M0U3VET ~/software/netcdf-3.6.1
$ CC=gcc FC=gfortran-4 F77=gfortran-4 CPPFLAGS=-DpgiFortran ./src/configure
configure: netCDF 3.6.1

It says to contact this email address in case of trouble, can you give me a hand?
