Absolutely!

Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source-directory of the package.

    2.  Execute a "make distclean".

    3.  Set your environment variables as before.  I noticed that your
	LD_NETCDF variable only contained a "-L..." option.  You should
	set it to "-L... -lnetcdf".

    4.  Set the environment variable PERL to "/usr/local/bin/perl".

    5.  Set the environment variable PERL_MANDIR to (I guess)
	"/usr/local/man".

    6.  Re-execute the configure(1) script.

    7.  Re-execute the command "make".

Let me know.
