The configure script doesn't pay any attention to the "C_INCLUDE_PATH" 
environment variable, as far as I know.  I think you still need to use
CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS for the netcdf-cxx configure, to tell it where the 
netCDF-4.2.1.1 include file and library were installed.  You don't need to 
export these if they are set on the same command line as the configure 
invocation,
but otherwise you do.  So try something like

  CPPFLAGS=-I/home/seiler/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/home/seiler/local/lib 
./configure --prefix=/home/seiler/local

I'm not sure whether you also need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include 
/home/seiler/local/lib, but it couldn't hurt.

If that doesn't work, we'll need to see the "config.log" file, not just the
output from running configure.
