Chris-

You need to make sure *all* sources are compiled with -fPIC, not just the C 
source files. You need to set FFLAGS and CXXFLAGS as well to make sure the 
fortran and C++ files are built with -fPIC. The error you are getting 

relocation R_X86_64_32S against `vtable for NcError' can not be used when 
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

is associated with a C++ file (libnetcdf_c++).
