Is there a current working version of netcdf for cygwin?  It isn't in the cygwin packages.  
I downoaded the distribution from unidata and tried to build it. The configure script knew 
about cygwin so I tried to run ./configure and make.  The configure script ran fine but when
I ran "make check", it ran into name conflicts linking the fortran libraries.  I have g95 and 
tried to build with that first by pointing the variable F90 to my g95 compiler. Then I tried 
without that so it defaulted to g77 and still got the same sort of problem.   

Here's the last few lines from the "make check" output when I try making it with the
g95 compiler defined as F90 (Sorry about the long lines, but the "smart questions"
document said to paste in output like this as is) :
