Hello,

If I am reading this correctly, you placed all of the subdirectories in 
/usr/local/bin, e.g.

/usr/local/bin/bin
/usr/local/bin/include
/usr/local/bin/lib

Correct?  Assuming so, you would invoke the configure script for netcdf-fortran 
as follows:

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/bin/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/bin/lib/" 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/bin/lib" ./configure

Note that you will need to either set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as a persistent 
environmental variable, or set it manually when you run 'make check'.

If this does not solve the problem, will you please provide the config.log 
generated when you run configure? 

Thanks, I hope this helps,

-Ward
