[netCDF #KVV-602932]: installation problems

Please give this a try:

lt_cv_ld_force_load=no CFLAGS="-arch x86_64" CXXFLAGS="-arch x86_64" 
FCFLAGS="-m64" FFLAGS="=-m64"  ./configure --prefix=/home/mmartinc/local 
--disable-netcdf-4

The lt_cv_ld_force_load=no will take care of a problem that you would have ran 
into during `make` if you were able to get `configure` to run (it's an issue 
with differences in `libtool` and `ld` on the Mac). The rest are compile flags 
(assuming you want 64bit, otherwise change x96_64 to i386 and -m64 to -m32).

If this works for you, be sure to run `make check` after `make` to see if it 
passes the tests.

Cheers!
