note that the option for configure  is --with-pic (no f and in lower-case). You can check with ./configure --help.

Beware, that you install netcdf in a non-default location. I would use --prefix=/usr/local instead of --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf

I know nothing about netcdf, but is there a reason you're building
netcdf from source instead of "apt-get install libnetcdf-dev"?

I think too that this should be the preferred approach.
