Howdy Akhilesh!

The problem you report can be fixed by replace two files in the distribution 
with the following updates:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/config/config/config.guess
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/config/config/config.sub

Get these two files, and overwrite the config.guess and config.sub in the src 
directory. Then try again.

This is a problem with these install utilities on some platforms. It will be 
fixed in the next release of netCDF.

Please let me know if this doesn't solve your problem.

Thanks!

Ed Hartnett
