Hmm...  Let's by-pass the configure script's attempt to discover the C
preprocessor.  Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level, netCDF, source directory.

    2.  Remove the file "config.cache" if it exists.

    3.  Set your environment variables as before.

    4.  Set the environment variable CPP to "/usr/local/bin/gcc -E"

    5.  Execute the configure script.
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If an error occurred, then send me that file, the file
        "config.log", and stop.

    6.  Execute the command "make".
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If an error occurred, then send me the file and stop.

    7.  Execute the command "make test".
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If an error occurred, then send me the file and stop.

    8.  Execute the command "make install".
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If an error occurred, then send me the file and stop.

    9.  Execute the command "make clean".
