You have to get the netCDF source distribution and unpack it, then you
will see the src/ directory.  Specifically, first download the latest
beta release (which has several problems fixed from the production
release) from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-beta13.tar.Z

This will create the compressed tar file netcdf-3.5.1-beta13.tar.Z in
some directory where you downloaded it, say DIR.  You will need to
uncompress and untar that file:

  % uncompress netcdf-3.5.1-beta13.tar.Z
  % tar xf netcdf-3.5.1-beta13.tar

Now there will be a subdirectory of DIR named netcdf-3.5.1-beta13,
which contains a subdirectory named "src".  That is the src/ directory
referred to in the installation instructions.

If you would rather use the older released version instead of the
beta13 version, just do all the above except get the source
distribution from 

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.Z

then uncompress and untar that file.
