Howdy Odai!

You don't have permission to install netCDF where you are trying to install it
(/usr/local).

Either get your sysadmin to do it, or install it somewhere else.

To install it somewhere else you must rerun the configure script like this:

./configure --prefix=/some/place

Then do a make install and it will work.

Please let me know if this doesn't help.

Thanks,

Ed
