The above command should be

    ./configure &>configure.log

Use of the "--prefix=..." option is unnecessary in your case and
specifying the source-directory (i.e., ".../src") is incorrect
because it will cause the netCDF package to be installed in the
"/usr/local/ROMS/netcdf-3.5.0/src" directory, e.g.,

    /usr/local/ROMS/netcdf-3.5.0/src/bin
    /usr/local/ROMS/netcdf-3.5.0/src/include
    /usr/local/ROMS/netcdf-3.5.0/src/lib
    ...

which is wrong.

The string "&>" causes the bash(1) user-shell to redirect both standard
output and standard error to the following file (i.e., "configure.log")
which is necessary.

Please do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command

            make distclean

    3.  Execute the command

            rm config.cache

    4.  Execute the commands

            export CC=/usr/bin/gcc
            export CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -Df2cFortran'
            export CFLAGS=-O
            export FC=/usr/bin/g77
            export FFLAGS='-O -Wno-globals'
            ./configure &>configure.log

        and send me the file "configure.log" from this step.

    5.  If the previous step was successful, then execute the command

            make &>make.log

        and send me the file "make.log" from this step.

    6.  If the previous step was successful, then execute the command

            make test &>test.log

        and send me the file "test.log" from this step.

    7.  If the previous step was successful, then execute the command

            make install &>install.log

        and send me the file "install.log" from this step.

    8.  If the previous step was successful, then you have successfully
        built and installed the netCDF package.  Execute the command

            make clean

        to remove unnecessary intermediate files.
