I'll need more information in order to help you.  Would you please do
the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level, netCDF, source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make clean".  Don't worry if it fails or
        even fails to execute.

    3.  Set your environment variables as before.

    4.  Execute the configure script.  Redirect standard output and
        standard error to the file "configure.log".  Send me the file.
