It's possible libnetcdf.so.4 is a leftover symbolic link to a previous
version of a library in a directory you specify with -L or in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and that the symbolic link references a shared library
that no longer exists.  In that case, you should delete the symbolic link
before trying to build and install netCDF.

Also, it's my understanding that GMT now includes an "automated install"
that builds and installs everything that's needed, including GMT.  If you
can use that, I think it would be easier than building it from source
yourself.

If you still need help installing netCDF from source, please send the 
information requested here:
