Edin,

I think the problem is that you ran configure with
"--prefix=/usr/local/include",
but what you really intended was "--prefix=/usr/local".  With the prefix you
specified, the include file would be installed in /usr/local//include/include
rather than in /usr/local/include, and you would have to specify
 #include <include/netcdf.h>
instead of
 #include <netcdf.h>
in your programs to see a definition of NC_NETCDF4.  You are probably seeing
the
older netcdf-3 netcdf.h file in /usr/include/netcdf.h, which would not have a
definition for NC_NETCDF4.  You could check on the dates of the two netcdf.h
files
with something like
  ls -l /usr/local/include/netcdf.h /usr/local/include/include/netcdf.h
and it will probably show that first was installed earlier than the second.

Just rerun "make distclean" and configure with the right --prefix value and it
should  overwrite the old netcdf.h file from your netcdf-3 installation.
