That is the wrong compiler - it's a Leopard compiler (Xcode 3.1/3.1.1 to be precise - see that it says darwin8 which is even 10.4 = Tiger!). Your Xcode seems to be seriously messed up -- I'd strongly recommend re-installing all Xcode 3.2 (run sudo gfortran-uninstall before you start) and Fortran (either the CRAN version or the Snow Leopard(!!) version from Tools).

NetCDF doesn't use anything from the system so even wrong compilers won't throw it off.
