In my experience finding and resolving this issue, the failed building 
of the shared netcdff library came from incrorrect PIC flags. I had to 
run the build commands by hand to diagnose the problem. This is far 
beyond the scope of the help that we (PyLith developers) can provide, 
which is why I suggest you work with your sysadmin. It may require 
meeting with her in person.

Correct.
