The standard output from the configure script:

indicates a problem: the configure script couldn't find any C primitive
types to correspond to the Fortran primitive types.  The reason why is
found in the file "config.log":

...

Apparently, your fortran compiler needs the shared library "libcxa.so.1"
but can't load it. You will have to determine why before you can build
the Fortran interface of the netCDF library.

Please let me know what you discover.
