Your CPPFLAGS isn't getting passed into the configure script, because its
compile
line (in config.log) is
configure:15660: gcc -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
instead of
configure:15660: gcc -c -g -O2 -I /usr/local/include conftest.c >&5
I suspect either you're using a shell that uses a different syntax for setting
environment variables (for example csh uses "setenv CPPFLAGS ..." or you're not
exporting the environment variable after you set it, as in
CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/netcdf/include"
export CPPFLAGS
or just
export CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/netcdf/include"
You can also use the environment variables as just arguments to the configure
script, as in:
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/netcdf/include" LDFLAGS=...
If it still won't work, another possibility is installing netCDF from one of
the package management systems, such as fink or MacPorts.
