Jeff,

Please see my comments at the end of this email.

The failure is one of unresolved text symbols during linking.  The
unresolved references should be fulfilled by the netcdf library that
should have been created during the build.  The configure and compile
messages for the netCDF are not logged in makelog, so I have no way of
knowing what happened.  It is pretty obvious, however, that the netCDF
library either did not get created or was not created correctly.

Did you follow the instructions for defining needed environment
variables for the netCDF build?  The relevant documentation can be
found in a link referenced in:
