Hi,

AFAICS, you have downloaded the package archive so you should not use the
"-forge" option. Did you try without it?

On debian there is a package for netcdf, which avoids having to take care of
dependencies (libnetcdf at least) yourself. The installation is then as easy
as "apt install octave-netcdf".
Isn't there such default package in Fedora? e.g. 

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/koschei/package/octave-netcdf?collection=epel7
