The last line above indicates a serious error. The reason will be
described in the file "config.log".

The last line above indicates the reason for the failure: the configure
script couldn't find the "c89" compiler.  Assuming that you wanted to
use "/usr/bin/gcc" as the C compiler, then you need to ensure that the CC
environment variable is appropriately set before executing the configure
script.

Try the following:

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

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 which are described near the end of the
        file "INSTALL.html".

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CC is set to "/usr/bin/gcc".

    4.  Perform steps 6 though 9 which are described near the end of the
        file "INSTALL.html".

Please let me know if this helps.
