The not linked error for MPI was not in the netCDF installation, it was in your 
attempt to
install HDF5-1.8.1:

  configure:47643: error: unable to link a simple MPI-IO application

You can ask the HDF5 help desk why the error occurred if you still want an HDF5 
installation,
but the error has nothing to do with netCDF.  I suspect it is a problem with 
specifying the
LD_FLAGS using syntax like "-L/library1:/library2:/library3" instead of 
"-L/library1 -L/library2 -L/library3", which most compilers/linkers expect.

As I said in my previous response, you do not need to install HDF5-1.8.1 before 
installing 
netCDF-3, so you can ignore the above error.

The netCDF installation output you sent in the file Make.doc showed that 
everything worked
with the netCDF installation until testing the C++ interface.  You do not need 
the netCDF 
C++ interface for WRF, so you can ignore this also. If you want a clean compile 
and build
for netCDF-3, just set the environment variable CXX to '' before configuring, 
as in
  export CXX=''
  make distclean
  ./configure
  make check
  make install
with whatever other environment variables you needed and whatever configure 
arguments you
decided to use.  But do not use the configure argument "--enable-netcdf-4", 
because you
do not need netCDF-4 (or HDF5) for WRF at this time.

If you want the C++ netCDF-3 interface installed, even though it is not needed 
for WRF,
you will have to get the C++ settings right for the Intel C++ compiler.  I 
suspect your
library flags is using the wrong syntax, with ":" character separating library 
directories,
but I don't know whether Intel compilers support that syntax.
