The log of your "make test" attempt:

    Making `test' in directory /home/hoangnghiem/netcdf-3.5.1/src/nc_test
     
    make[2]: Entering directory `/home/hoangnghiem/netcdf-3.5.1/src/nc_test'
    /usr/bin/gcc -c -O -I../libsrc  -DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran nc_test.c
    In file included from /usr/include/linux/signal.h:4,
                     from /usr/include/signal.h:28,
                     from nc_test.c:90:
    /usr/include/asm/signal.h:107: parse error before "sigset_t"
    /usr/include/asm/signal.h:110: parse error before '}' token
    In file included from nc_test.c:90:
    /usr/include/signal.h:69: parse error before '*' token
    /usr/include/signal.h:70: parse error before '*' token

indicates a problem with your C compilation environment and not with the
netCDF package.  The C compiler encountered a parsing error in the file
/usr/include/asm/signal.h".  This should never occur and indicates a
problem with the installation of your C compiler.

I suggest that you show the above to your system administrator or
supplier of your system, or reinstall your C compiler.
