Even though you did not send us the full output of your build attempt
(evidently you redirected STDOUT to make.log but not STDERR), I am
guessing that your problem is related to not setting the CPPFLAGS
environment variable correctly for use of PGI Fortran.

The netCDF web page that lists example environment variable settings for
use with various compilers is:

Unidata HomePage
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu
  netCDF
  http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf
    Installation instructions
    http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/INSTALL.html
      Environment variables for Linux
      http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/INSTALL.html#linux

The example settings for using the PGI Fortran compiler are:

CC=/usr/bin/gcc
CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran'
CFLAGS=-O
FC=/opt/pgi/linux86/bin/pgf90
FFLAGS='-O -w'
CXX=/usr/bin/g++

The key variable is CPPFLAGS.

After setting these environment variables, you will need to start
a build from scratch:

cd wherever_you_are_tying_to_build_netCDF
make distclean
./configure
make

Please let us know if you problem is not solved by this.

Cheers,
