After building the C netCDF library, you need to install it with "make install".
Then you can build the Fortran libraries, specifying where the C netCDF library
is installed with something like:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure
  make check

assuming the C libraries were installed in /usr/local (the default).  If you 
used
--prefix= option to specify where to install C libraries, then substitute that 
for
"/usr/local" in above.
