I think doc/netcdf-api.tex might be out of date.  That was our initial
spec and it wouldn't surprise me if we've been remiss in keeping it in
sync with the code.

The prototype for nfmpi_def_var is given in pnetcdf.inc:

      integer         nfmpi_def_var
      !                         (integer             ncid,
      !                          character(*)        name,
      !                          integer             datatype,
      !                          integer             ndims,
      !                          integer             dimids(1),
      !                          integer             varid)
            external        nfmpi_def_var

I think this is related to your earlier message.  Yes, pnetcdf should
definitely provide nfmpi_def_var.  It sounds like your fortran
bindings are not getting built.
