Hallo Aaron,

the "About Intel Fortran Compiler" is indeed a message/warning that
appears every time you choose ifort and it does not imply that the
configure process failed.
It seems however that you have problem with the netcdf libraries.
NETCDF support is very useful, but at the moment not essential.
You can try to reconfigure abinit disabling netcdf (--disable-netcdf or
--enable-netcdf=no, check with ./configure --help if those keys are
correct). Then try again make to see if it works. I hope it does.
