If you are running a linux server with network access, perhaps you can install netCDF from a repository (ex. yum install netcdf). If you need to build it, do you need the fortran and C++ libraries too? If not, you can turn them off with --disable-fortran --disable-cxx when configuring the netCDF build. If none of this helps, I need you to send the output of make check, and the file config.log.
