See that part where it said /usr/local/lib/libnetcdf.a needed to be recompiled with -fPIC? It means that the netcdf library on your machine, which is located in /usr/local/lib, needs to be recompiled with the -fPIC flag specified. :) I suggest consulting the netcdf library documentation for how to do this, or talk to your system administrator, or ask one of your local computer experts.
