These look fine; do you have any other environment variables set,
such as CFLAGS, FFLAGS, ... ?

These messages are telling you that, when trying to link in the GRIB2
decoding software, that
software was either not built with support for 'png' or you've built
and installed the 'png' software
but the link process cannot find it.

The GRIB2 decoding software is dependent upon having the 'jpeg'
software library installed, and if
defined, the 'png' software library installed. In the makefile for
the GRIB2 decoding software is a
definition that looks like:

        DEFS=-DUSE_JPEG2000 -DUSE_PNG

It may not have the "-DUSE_PNG" component, if you do not want to
decode GRIB2 data that has
been compressed using the 'png' software. If, however, you are going
to build in 'png' (de)compression,
you'll need to build and install that software. Please see:

        http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/build_from_src.shtml#GRIB2

for a discussion on the requisite software, and how to build and
install it.
