From config.log, this is where the first problem is detected:

> configure:18686: checking for library containing nc_open
> configure:18717: mpicc -o conftest -O3 -xHost -ip -no-prec-div -static 
> -L/home/sven/local/lib -I/home/sven/local/include 
> -I/home/sven/Downloads/netcdf-fortran-4.2/fortran -I/home/sven/local/include 
> -L/home/sven/local/lib conftest.c  >&5
> /tmp/iccTXpGxK.o: In function `main':
> conftest.c:(.text+0x2b): undefined reference to `nc_open'

From this, it's not clear where the netCDF C library was installed or
whether it's installed as a static library or a shared library.

Here's the instructions for building netcdf-fortran-4.2, with details
such as why it's sometimes necessary to set environment variables such
as LS_LIBRARY_PATH when building from source:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-fortran-install.html

There's also some details there about parallel builds with mpicc and
mpif90.

If that doesn't work, please send us the environemnt variables you
have set and exactly how you invoked the configure script.

Thanks!
