Hello, NetCDF 3.5.0 is quite old at this point and has not been maintained in years. It is not unlikely that it will not even compile on a modern system, although I cannot say for certain. You may download the most recent release, 4.4.1, from https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/releases. If you need the Fortran interface, it is available from https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran/releases. I would be happy to take a look at the `configure.log` file generated when you ran configure; it contains additional information that I can use which is not captured by the output printed to screen. If there is an obvious problem I will try to help work around it; if it looks like the issue is the age of the software and the newer environment, updating to the latest version may be our only option.
