Howdy Mohamed,

This is a simple problem. You don't have permission to create the directory
you're trying to install netCDF in:

> test -z "/enxmabm/netcdf-3.6.3/share/man/man3" || /bin/mkdir -p
"/enxmabm/netcdf-3.6.3/share/man/man3"
> /bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/enxmabm': Permission denied

You need to have write permissions in the /enxmabm directory.

I don't think you typed your configure line quite right:
> ./configure --prefix=$ scratch/enxmabm/netcdf-3.6.3 --enable-shared
FC=gfortran

Did you mean to type the "$ " before your --prefix argument?

Please let me know if this doesn't help.

Thanks,

Ed
