Problem with netCDF Fortran compilation: C compiler doesn't work

Question

I have a problem with netCDF Fortran compilation. Here is the output of my compilation:

configure: netCDF-Fortran 4.5.3 
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu 
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu 
checking target system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu 
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c 
checking whether build environment is sane... yes 
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p 
checking for gawk... no 
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes 
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes 
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no 
configure: checking user options 
checking whether make supports the include directive... yes (GNU style) 
checking for gcc... /home/ksenia/prgs4mom/openmpi_4.1.1/bin/mpicc 
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/ksenia/prgs4mom/src/netcdf-fortran-4.5.3': 
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables 
See config.log for more details 
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Here is my compilation script:

#!/bin/bash
export CC="/home/ksenia/prgs4mom/openmpi_4.1.1/bin/mpicc"
export FC="/home/ksenia/prgs4mom/openmpi_4.1.1/bin/mpif90"
export F77="/home/ksenia/prgs4mom/openmpi_4.1.1/bin/mpifort"
export CXX="/home/ksenia/prgs4mom/openmpi_4.1.1/bin/mpicxx"

export CPPFLAGS="$(echo "nc-config --cflags")"
export LDFLAGS="$(echo "nc-config --libs")"
export LIBS="-lnetcdf"

export CFLAGS="-DgFortran"
export CPPLAGS="-DgFortran"
export CXXFLAGS="-DgFortran"

./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/home/ksenia/prgs4mom/netcdf_fortran_4.5.3

make && sudo make install

It also should be noted that if I comment the strings providing LDFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LIBS, compilation will go another understandable way (I cut the output for more convenient view):

configure: netCDF-Fortran 4.5.3 
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu 
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu 
checking target system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
configure: checking user options

checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
***
configure: error: netcdf-c version 4.7.4 or greater is required 
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Here is the output of nc-config --all:

This netCDF 4.7.4 has been built with the following features:

  --libdir        -> /home/ksenia/prgs4mom/netcdf_c_4.7.4/lib
  --version       -> netCDF 4.7.4

Can someone please explain me what I've done wrong and why configure recap there is no working C compilers on my PC if I provide an information about netCDF-C and how to fix it?

Thank you!
