Howdy Faye!

I see in your output:
> gcc: /tmp/netcdf/install/usr//lib: No such file or directory
> gcc: unrecognized option `-rpath'

Does the directory /tmp/netcdf/install/usr exist?

(Also, can you try specifying it without the trailing backslash? That is, like 
this:
--prefix=/tmp/netcdf/install/usr)

Please let me know if this fixes your problem.

Thanks!

Ed
