This sounds like a GMT problem, and I'm sorry to say I know nothing about
GMT.  If the netCDF tests programs like nctest link successfully to the
netCDF library and run successfully, then you should be able to use the same
link parameters to link other packages like GMT to the netCDF library.
Whether a separate library is needed or not for the system XDR library depends
on the platform, but evidently `configure' got that right for your platform.
Just try deleting nctest and remaking it to see how it is linked ...
