It looks like the configure script decided to install the netCDF package
off of `/' rather than something reasonable (e.g. `/usr/local/netcdf').  The
location of the installation point is set by the `prefix' variable when
the configure script is run, e.g.

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf

Would you please start from scratch by executing the following commands:

    make distclean
    rm config.cache

Then, would you please send me the output from executing the following
commands:

    ./configure --prefix=<your installation point for the netCDF package>
    make
