We received the message I attached below from a user that just
installed the netCDF on Linux.  Perhaps something in his message
can help you get going on your system (we have no Linux system
to test the netCDF installation on).

>>Hi,

>>I have just installed the netCDF library (version 2.4pl6) without 
>>any problems! This wasn't the case with earlier versions. Thanks.
>>I didn't install the Fortran part because g77 doesn't recognize 
>>INTEGER*2 (known bug), and I do not have f2c.
>>The C and C++ part are compiled without any problems using gcc,
>>g++, flex and bison. 
>>I have also installed a shared netcdf-library, which is useful
>>when you are running more than one application linked with the 
>>netcdf-library. I have attached a script which compiles a shared
>>netcdf-library and recompiles ncdump and ncgen. It should be used 
>>after the suggested compilation method, NOT followed by a "make 
>>clean".

# Date:    20-Jan-96
#
# Purpose: 1) make a shared netCDF library using the gcc compiler
#          2) recompile ncdump and ncgen with the shared library
#
# Use:     Compile the netCDF software
#          I have used: - CC=gcc
#                       - CFLAGS='-O2 -m486 -fPIC'
#                       - CXX=g++
#                       - FC=
#                       - OS=linux
#          Type "make_shared"
#          Install ncdum and ncgen by hand otherwise they are recompiled
#          which the static library!
#
# Note:    only tested on a Linux-PC, gcc 2.7.2, ELF
#               ---> NO FORTRAN SUPPORT!!!  <---
