I'm not sure what "ftn" is, but it doesn't seem to be a Fortran compiler.  I'm
guessing it is a shell script that perhaps calls a Fortran compiler, but for
setting the FC, F90, and F95 environment variables, you must use an actual
Fortran compiler, such as gfortran, g95, pgf90, or ifort.

You may also be able to get a binary version of netCDF for Fedora that doesn't
require building from source, by running something like

  $ sudo yum install netcdf

If this doesn't help, please try first just building the netCDF C library with 
these
instructions:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/

If that works and you get it installed on your system, and you determine that 
GMT
also needs the netCDF Fortran library, then get the separate netcdf-fortran-4.2
release and follow the instructions for building that library here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-fortran-install.html
