Thank you for the very clear exposition.  It does help me understand
your problem.

I suggest the following:

    1.  Go to the `port/' subdirectory.

    2.  Apply the enclosed patch to the file `master.mk.in'.

    3.  Go to the top-level, netCDF source directory (i.e. up one level).

    4.  Execute the command `./config.status'.  This will regenerate the
        makefiles using the patched master makefile.

    5.  Execute the command `make install'.  Trap the output and send it
        to me if a problem occurs.

Please let me know if this helps.
