Hi Yanyan,

There will always be error messages in config.log, which can be ignored if
the configure script runs successfully and creates the necessary Makefiles.

Your configure and "make test" ran fine, with no unexpected errors.

However, netCDF version 4.0.1 is an old version of netCDF software, from
March, 2009.  

Many bugs and improvements have been included in more recent releases.  
If you want the benefit of these recent releases, I recommend installing 
the netCDF-C release 4.3.0, the netCDF-Fortran release 4.2, and if you 
need it, either the netCDF-C++ 4.2 legacy release or the netCDF-4-C++ 
release 4.2.  These are all available from our netCDF Downloads site:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/

Note that since netCDF version 4.1.3, the C, Fortran, and C++ libraries
have been released in separate distributions, so you may install the
C library, and then optionally the Fortran or C++ libraries that depend
on the C library, if you need them.
