Not if you use sudo and expect it to be inherited.

Here's from the netCDF-Fortran install instructions (I'm not
sure why this isn't also included in the netCDF-C install
instructions, as it's true for building any software that 
depends on another installed library):

  If you set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH) environment
  variable in the previous step, don't use the "sudo" command before
  the following "configure" or "make check" commands. Using "sudo"
  causes the LD_* environment variables to be ignored, as a security
  precaution. You can use "sudo make install" as the last step, but
  you shouldn't need to use "sudo" before that.
