So what gives? Is it not finding something? Then why does it not say
"file not found"? What does the -L part mean? Haven't been able to
figure that out.

Greg,

-L/path/to/lib
adds the path to the search directories for libraries (collections of object 
files).

means that the function output_[0], in
the object file "output.o" (probably from output.f)
in libNLM.a, referenced the function nf_close_, but this
function could not be found.

In Unix, an object (or library) that defines a function,
must be listed after the object (or library) that calls
that function.

Or 'output', most computer languages change the name of the functions
in the object files. E.g., in C, all functions are preceded with a '_'.
It appears that fortran appends a '_'.
