I don't really use netCDF, but I read about a similar situation in here: 
http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/issues/detail?id=2

So it seems you require the flag '--enable-netcdf-4' when calling the 
configure script for netcdf-4 or you haven't installed it at all. I 
would recommend reading the building documentation for netcdf4-python 
[1] and following the steps in detail. Specifically installing HDF5 and 
netcdf-4 before attempting to build netcdf4-python.

Hope it helps,
Tomas.
