This just looks like a failure to find the netCDF library shared object.
This could occur because an older netCDF shared library was installed that
was a 32-bit library and you are trying to link a 64-bit program with it,
or vice-versa.  Another possibility is that you need to set the environment
variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the lib directory where netCDF is
installed before trying to build GMT.

If none of those suggestions help, I can only suggest you contact GMT support.
