Anamika,

I'm glad your netCDF-3.6.2 install worked OK.

The remaining problems you have with compiling WRF are not netCDF
problems, so we can't provide much help.

For help with WRF installation, the following site may provide
useful support:

  http://forum.wrfforum.com/viewforum.php?f=5

Just taking a quick look at your attempt to compile WRF, I see
this error:

  pgf95 -r4 -i4 -fastsse -Mvect=noaltcode -Msmartalloc -Mprefetch=distance:8 
-Mfprelaxed  -w  -Mfree -byteswapio -o wrf_io.o  
-I/home/asf15076/WRF/netcdf/netcdf-3.6.2/include -I../ioapi_share -c wrf_io.f
  PGF90-S-0017-Unable to open include file: netcdf.inc (wrf_io.f: 372)

So it looks like this error may be due to either 

 - not running "make install" after building and checking netCDF,
   so that the "netcdf.inc" file needed by Fortran programs doesn't
   get installed in the directory where you configured WRF to look 
   for it, /home/asf15076/WRF/netcdf/netcdf-3.6.2/include/, or

 - configuring WRF with the wrong place to look for the "netcdf.inc"
   file, for example it looks like you ran the netcdf configure with 
   --prefix=/home/asf15076/netcdf/netcdf-3.6.2, so if you ran
   "make install", then it would have installed the netcdf.inc file
   in /home/asf15076/netcdf/netcdf-3.6.2/include instead of 
   in /home/asf15076/WRF/netcdf/netcdf-3.6.2/include, but WRF would
   have looked in the latter directory and not find it.

This may be because your configure.wrf has the setting

  NETCDFPATH      =    /home/asf15076/WRF/netcdf/netcdf-3.6.2

which is not the same as the path you used to configure netCDF

  --prefix=/home/asf15076/netcdf/netcdf-3.6.2

But again, please note we can't debug problems with building WRF, that's
not our software.

because "-Msmartalloc" is 
being used as a command line switch
