Error building PNetCDF 1.12.2 with NVHPC 22.1 under CentOS 8

[Carl Ponder]

Ok this fixed the problem:

    export SEQ_CC=`which pgcc`

The SEQ_CC setting isn't mentioned by the command

    ./confgure --help

Could you get it to list somehow?
I had to find it by looking at the messages in the script.

The value is this

    ac_cv_mpi_compiler_base_MPICC=/home/cponder/WRF/PGI/100.NVHPC/Linux_x86_64/21.11/compilers/bin/pgcc
    ac_cv_path_ac_cv_mpi_compiler_base_MPICC=/home/cponder/WRF/PGI/100.NVHPC/Linux_x86_64/21.11/compilers/bin/pgcc
    ac_cv_mpi_compiler_base_MPICC='/home/cponder/WRF/PGI/100.NVHPC/Linux_x86_64/21.11/compilers/bin/pgcc'

which I *think* is what I want, since I built OpenMPI to use the PGI 
compiler.
The problem, as I see it at least, is that for the Utility programs it's 
trying to use gcc instead:

    checking for mpiexec... /home/cponder/WRF/PGI/105.OpenMPI/bin/mpiexec
    checking for gcc... /bin/gcc
    checking C compiler for serial utility programs... /bin/gcc

If I don't add the PGI inslude-paths, at least, then gcc doesn't use the 
wrong ones.

Can you check the value of variable "ac_cv_mpi_compiler_base_MPICC"
printed in your config.log?

If it points to the PGI compiler, then configure.ac needs to be fixed.
Otherwise, config.log can help me to identify the problem.
