The above message contained the following:

The last line above is consistent with trying to build the package using
the Portland Group Fortran compiler rather than the Intel Fortran
compiler.  It is likely that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contained
the string "-DpgiFortran" prior to executing the configure script.

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

    3.  Perform the steps described at the following URL:

            
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/other-builds.html#intel-ifc

    4.  Ensure that the CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS environment variables don't
        contain anything inappropriate for your desired compilation
        environment.

    5.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

Please let me know if this helps.
