Using Intel compilers for the required netCDF library, forces you to use
the same compiler also for the model. You should use CC=icc FC=ifort.
Anyway, I also suggest to have a look to the config.log, as suggested by
the configure script. If you cannot solve the problem, send me offlist the
config.log.
