The config.log file you sent shows that your configure step finished 
successfully,
creating Makefiles and header files for the next step: running "make check", 
followed by "make install".

As it says in the NetCDF Installation Guide:

  The configure script will also create the file "config.log", which will 
contain 
  error messages from the utilities that the configure script uses in examining 
the 
  attributes of your system. Because such an examination can result in errors, 
it 
  is expected that "config.log" will contain error messages. Therefore, such 
  messages do not necessarily indicate a problem (a better indicator would be 
  failure of the subsequent "make").

So please don't worry about error messages in "config.log".  If the "make check"
step fails, please report the details, as listed here:
