The output from the configure(1) script had this:

    Note (probably harmless): No library found for -l

I suspect that the environment variable LD_NETCDF was set to "-l netcdf".

Please try rebuilding the package from scratch (execute the command "make 
distclean") with the environment variable LD_NETCDF set to "-L/usr/lib64 
-lnetcdf".  Mind the spaces!

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
