It appears that there is a problem with your development environment.
I can infer from the config.log file you sent that the output from
configure shows this sort of problem:

  checking if Fortran "byte" is C "signed char"... no
  checking if Fortran "byte" is C "short"... no
  checking if Fortran "byte" is C "int"... no
  checking if Fortran "byte" is C "long"... no
  checking if Fortran "integer*2" is C "short"... no
  checking if Fortran "integer*2" is C "int"... no
  checking if Fortran "integer*2" is C "long"... no
  checking if Fortran "integer" is C "int"... no
  checking if Fortran "integer" is C "long"... no
  checking if Fortran "real" is C "float"... no
  checking if Fortran "real" is C "double"... no
  checking if Fortran "doubleprecision" is C "double"... no
  checking if Fortran "doubleprecision" is C "float"... no

The answers to all the above can't be "no", and the cause is found in
your "config.log" file:

  configure:6248: checking if Fortran "byte" is C "signed char"
  configure:6258: gcc -c -DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran -g -O2 -march=pentium4
conftest.c
  configure:6261: $? = 0
  configure:6264: ifort -g -O2 -mp -recursive -c conftestf.f
  configure:6267: $? = 0
  configure:6270: ifort -o conftest -g -O2 -mp -recursive  conftestf.o
conftest.o  
  configure:6273: $? = 0
  configure:6276: ./conftest
  ./conftest: error while loading shared libraries: libimf.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

This shows that the ifort compiler/linker makes use of the shared
runtime library "libimf.so" and this library can't be found when the
resulting executable is run.

To fix this, you may need to consult the documentation on the ifort(1)
compiler/linker or ask your system administrator.  It could be that
you need to set an environment variable (e.g., LD_LIBRARY_PATH) so
that it references the directory that contains the missing library.

When you try to rebuild the netCDF package, remember to do a "make 
distclean" first.
