The netCDF library wasn't compiled in such a way that its object code is 
position independent (i.e., the -fPIC option wasn't used when the netCDF 
library was built).  Position independency is necessary in order to create a 
perl(1) extension module.

Try rebuilding the netCDF package with position independent code.
