It looks like you haven't specified where the netCDF-C library was installed to
the netCDF-Fortran configure script. Building the netCDF-Fortran library depends
on a previously installed netCDF-C library. You need to set at least CPPFLAGS
and LDFLAGS for the netCDF-Fortran configure script. You may also need to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if you have installed he netCDF-C library somewhere that's
not searched by default.
