[netCDF #KDK-935507]: C version installation issues on Ubuntu Linux

Hello,

When I look at the config.log file you provided, I see the following:

````
configure:4745: checking for gcc
configure:4772: result: h5pcc
configure:5001: checking for C compiler version
configure:5010: h5pcc --version >&5
./configure: line 5012: h5pcc: command not found
````

Make sure that h5pcc is installed and on your system path; this should correct 
the issue.

Thanks!
