Hello Suzanna,

Thank you for providing the `config.log` file.  While inspecting it, I see the 
following:

````
configure:4505: gcc  /workspace/projects/netcdf/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.8.16/include 
/workspace/projects/netcdf/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.8.16/lib conftest.c  >&5
/workspace/projects/netcdf/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.8.16/include: file not recognized: 
Is a directory
````

It looks like we are missing the `-I` and `-L` flags (the first flag is a 
capital i, in case your font is sans serif). for CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS.  Try the 
following:

setenv CPPFLAGS -I/workspace/projects/netcdf-4.4.0/include
setenv LDFLAGS -L/workspace/projects/netcdf/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.8.16/lib

Also, depending on whether you are using shared libraries or not, you may need 
the following:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /workspace/projects/netcdf/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.8.16/ib

Try working without this last one, and if you receive an error at runtime in 
the neighborhood of 'can't locate shared library', set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
value.

I hope this helps, please let me know if this doesn't resolve the problem!
