[netCDF #RQC-418775]: make check gives multiple errors

Howdy Padriac!

NetCDF now includes the opendap client, which allows your programs to access 
remote data on opendap severs, as if the files were local. As part of the 
build, it contacts a test server and checks that the opendap client works.

If you don't want this feature you can disable it with --disable-dap.

If you just don't want to run the remote tests, you can disable them with 
--disable-dap-remote-tests.

If the build still does not work, send the complete output of make, make check, 
and the config.log file to this email.

Thanks and good luck!
