No, I didn't mean to change your PATH environment variable, I meant to
set a "srcdir" environment variable to a path to the directory containing 
the ncgen3 sources.

However, rather than trying to explain the intricacies of getting just
that test to run in the build directory with the "srcdir" environment
variable, I'm going to recommend that you start over with the current
release of netCDF-C, version 4.3.2, and build and install that.  Then
I recommend that you build and install netCDF-Fortran, version 4.2, by
following the instructions we supply here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/building_netcdf_fortran.html

The reason I'm recommending starting over is that it looks like you
are no longer having the problem you originally reported, in which
the failed output started:

  *** Testing ncgen3.
  *** creating classic file c0.nc <http://c0.nc> from c0.cdl...

But now, your output starts

> *** Testing ncgen3.
> *** creating classic file c0.nc from c0.cdl...

which no longer has the spurious "<http://c0.nc> " string you
originally reported.  So I'm guessing whatever caused that problem
is gone, so maybe the "make check" will complete normally, as it does
for us on OSX 10.9.3 using /usr/bin/cc and gfortran ...

I'm just running a test now on OSX-10.9.3 to make sure this combination
builds as I've claimed ...
