> Hello,

> 
> configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.

From the relevant lines in your config.log:

  configure:3852: checking for C compiler default output file name
  configure:3874: cc    conftest.c  >&5
  configure:3878: $? = 0
  configure:3916: result: a.out
  configure:3933: checking whether the C compiler works
  configure:3943: ./a.out
  ./configure: line 3945: ./a.out: Permission denied

you don't have permissions to run a program that you just built.  I
don't understand how that's possible, but it has nothing to do
with netCDF.  Until you can compile and run a simple C program,
such as "hello.c", you won't be able to build the netCDF C 
libraries and utilities.
