Using the 4.4.0 preview in RHEL isn't so straightforward. You might
not actually be using it, even though you think you are.
You might already be doing these things, but if you aren't, here are
my suggestions. I can provide details if you are unfamiliar with
setting links and such.
1. Even though you install gcc44, etc., your default system gcc is
still the old one. This is as it should be. Do not change this lest
you risk terrible consequences for your OS. The executables you need
to use are called gcc44, gfortran44 and g++44, and they exist in
/usr/bin. The libraries you need to link with are probably in a
location like /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux6E/4.4.0/
2. I strongly recommend not installing as root. I mean ever with
this sort of software, but here especially because you are mucking
about with the system compilers and libraries. Confusing system
libraries can cause much trouble. Instead, give a non-root user
ownership of the amber11 tree and install using that user. I have a
separate "installer" account on my machines for this purpose, and all
of /usr/local is owned by installer.
3. Your life will be simplest if the gcc44, etc., executables are
*called* gcc, gfortran and g++ so far as AMBER is concerned. You can
not use aliases for this. Instead, find or make a directory, public
if others might want to use the 4.4.0 compilers (recommended), that is
not in the root user's $PATH. Next, in that directory, make symbolic
links to /usr/bin/gcc44, etc., that are called gcc, etc. Finally,
reset the install user's $PATH so that it sees that directory first.
Here's what my setup looks like:
[installer.aarya ~]$ which gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc
[installer.aarya ~]$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 installer users 14 May 13 09:56 /usr/local/bin/gcc ->
/usr/bin/gcc44
[installer.aarya ~]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.4.0 20090514 (Red Hat 4.4.0-6)
4. You will need to set your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the proper
libraries. Mine looks like:
[installer.aarya ~]$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux6E/4.4.0/
[installer.aarya ~]$
5. To test that AMBER agrees, when you run configure, check the
versions reported:
[installer.aarya src]$ ./configure gnu
[snip]
Obtaining the gnu suite version:
gcc -v
The version is 4.4.0
[snip]
Validating the C++ compiler version:
g++ -v
The version is 4.4.0
6] When we compile that way, we get all tests passing with no errors,
both serial and parallel.

Make sure that there is no "netcdf.mod" file in amber11/src/sander left over from some previous compilation. It would also be very helpful to see more of the error message.
