The attachment was actually the file "config.log" rather than the file
"configure.log" mentioned in step 6 near the end of the INSTALL file.

This is actually the file "configure.log".  This file is often
confused with "config.log".

The last line above indicates that your C++ development environment
is broken.  If you want the C++ netCDF interface, then you'll have to
correct this situation before attempting to build the netCDF package.  I
suggest trying the C++ compiler on small test programs to uncover the
problem and consulting with your system administrator.

The error messages above indicate that your C development environment is
broken.  You'll have to correct this situation before you can build the
netCDF package.  I suggest trying the C compiler on small test programs
to uncover the problem and consulting with your system administrator.

When you've corrected your development environment and wish to retry
building the netCDF package, then perform steps 2 through 9 near the end
of the INSTALL file.

Please let me know if this helps.
