You should only use one C compiler rather than two (gcc and cc).

Because the netCDF package is designed to be compiled by a Standard C
compiler, I doubt that can be compiled with the non-standard /usr/ucb/cc
compiler.

What was your Fortran compiler?

The above doesn't indicate what the problem was -- only that the
compilation failed.  Without knowing the problem, I can't prescribe a
solution.  You might try manually executing the last command above in
the cxx/ subdirectory to see if it gives you any more information.

Otherwise, I would retry steps 2 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL
file except that for step 5 I would use the following settings:

    CC          /usr/local/bin/gcc
    CXX         /usr/local/bin/c++
