This could happen if you don't have write permission in the libsrc
directory when you run "make check".  Otherwise, I can't tell what
the error is.  Could you edit the file libsrc/t_nc.c around line 367
to insert a statement that will report the actual error?  You need to
change

        if(ret != NC_NOERR) {
                (void) fprintf(stderr, "trying again\n");
                ret = nc__create(fname,NC_CLOBBER, initialsz, &chunksz, &id);
        }

by inserting one statement, to look like this instead:

        if(ret != NC_NOERR) {
                (void) fprintf(stderr, "trying again\n");
                ret = nc__create(fname,NC_CLOBBER, initialsz, &chunksz, &id);
                printf("%s\n", nc_strerror(ret));
        }

Then if it's still not clear what the problem is, please send the error 
output and we'll see if we can diagnose what the problem is.
