It says that you don't have permission to install files in /usr/local...

Either get your sysadmin to run the make install, or else rerun the netcdf 
configure script, with the --prefix= option to tell the netcdf makefile to 
install somewhere else, where you do have permissions.

Please let me know if this doesn't help.

Thanks,

Ed
