Using "make distclean" from the top-level directory (the one containing the
"configure" script) should delete everything that's not in the original
unpacked source distribution.  Alternatively, you can get another copy of
the source distribution from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-3.6.3.tar.gz

and use that.

You might try building and installing in your user directory first, just to
see if that makes all the "Permission denied" problems go away.  It's also
possible to install from the results of building in your user directory by
running "make install" from there, as a user who has permissions to create
and write in the installation directory.

I hope this helps ...
