Here's the instructions for building and installing netCDF:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/building.html
  
Note that with versions 4.2 and later (the most recent is version 4.2.1.1), 
the Fortran library is now in a separate software distribution from the C
library, so you need to build and install the C library first, then build
and install the Fortran library by telling it where you installed the C 
library.

That will require setting environment variables CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and
sometimes LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  For detailed instructions on building the
Fortran netCDF library after you have installed the C library, see:
