Tom,

One thing you did not include is the values of the environment variables
described in:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html

In particular, and because I see a failure in building the Fortran
interface from the log you attached:

I am led to believe that you did not set the CPPFLAGS environment variable
to contain '-Df2cFortran'.  For reference, your environment should contain
definitions like the following before running configure:

CC=/usr/bin/gcc
CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran
FC=/usr/bin/g77
FFLAGS=-Wno-globals
CXX=/usr/bin/g++

If you find that your environment variables do not match these, then
you should:

o run 'make distclean'
o define the environment variables as per the examples above
o rerun 'configure'
o rerun 'make' or 'make install'

Tom,
Thank you so much for your help. I was missing a "-" in front of one of the 
environmental variables. All is fine now.
