Trey,

The log output from configure shows that you do not have a working C
compiler, or, at least, /bin/c89 does not work (and the majority of the
netCDF package is in C).  The reason for the failure should be found
in the file config.log.

From the output it looks like your Fortran compiler is found in
/opt/fortran/bin and is named fort77.  This hints that the platform is
HP-UX; true?  If so, then try defining environment variables like the
following:

CC=/bin/cc
CPPFLAGS="-D_HPUX_SOURCE -DNDEBUG"
CFLAGS=-O
FC=/opt/fortran/bin/fort77         # might be /usr/bin/fort77 instead
FFLAGS="-O3 -w"
CXX=

and then retry your configure.  If this doesn't work, then I would
check to see if /bin/c89 and/or /bin/cc exists.  On HP-UX, they
will both be links to executables in /opt/ansic/bin:

c89@ -> /opt/ansic/bin/c89
cc@ -> /opt/ansic/bin/cc

In any case, the reason for the configure failure on your system is a
direct result of the /bin/c89 failure.
