Another good resource is the netCDF user-support email archive at

The query-syntax is uncommon.

The netCDF package has been built on a bunch of Linux systems --
although, obviously, we can't test the installation process for all
possible environments.

Why don't you follow the instructions near the end of the file
INSTALL.html with the enviroment variable settings that you think should
work and send me the relevant diagnogstic items.
