[netCDF #YFX-636506]: Netcdf 4.1.3 Install Error

Hello,

Unfortunately, the answer remains much the same as it was in 2019; 4.1.3 is a 
very old version, and is only growing harder to build on modern hardware/with 
modern compilers. Ideally, WRF would be updated to work with modern versions of 
netCDF, as the later releases (we are currently preparing 4.9.1) offer 
important bug fixes, not just new features.  

The error you're observing below seems to suggest that 
libnetcdf_c___la-netcdf.o is not being built; I would expect to see an error 
*before* the one you reported here, in that case, which might provide clues to 
why this binary object isn't being compiled.  Is it possible there's an earlier 
error we can look at, to try to diagnose this?

Thanks!

-Ward
