Roberto,

The results you sent from config.log make it appear as if the configure script 
was edited, interrupted, or killed before it could finish running.  In 
particular, right after it fails to find a working Fortran-90 compiler because 
of a license manager problem, a large section of the configure script is 
skipped that is supposed to determine the names and paths of basic development 
tools needed to build netCDF, such as the "ar", "nm", and "grep" utilities.  As 
a result, the shell variables defining these utilities are all defined as empty 
strings:

AR=''
AS=''
CPP=''
EGREP=''
FGREP=''
GREP=''
LD=''
NM=''
SED=''
STRIP=''

and that prevents the generation of Makefiles.  It's possible you could get 
beyond the point where the license manager problems occur by specifying not to 
create a Fortran-90 interface by giving the configure script the argument 
"--disable-f90", as in:

   $ ./configure --disable-f90

If that doesn't work, you might instead try to correct the license manager 
problem with the pgf90 compiler or try to build with a gcc-based Fortran 
compiler such as gfortran.  I have tried to duplicate the error you are seeing 
on our similar Linux platform, but the configure script runs to completion here 
and there is no such problem.

Our expert on configure script problems is on vacation for two more weeks, so 
if the above suggestions don't help, maybe he will have a better suggestion 
when he returns.  I'm CC:ing him on this reply.
