Since you installed the netCDF C library as a shared library in a location that 
is 
not searched by default, you need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable (or the equivalent DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH for OSX) , as described here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-fortran-install.html

This is in addition to the LDFLAGS you are giving the compiler, because the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used by the loader to find shared libraries.
