The error you are getting seems to be associated with the DAP capabilities of 
the netCDF library, but we really need more information as to your build 
environment to figure out what exactly the issue is. Would you kindly send the 
following information:

1) the command you used to execute the `configure` script
2) the full output from`configure` command you ran in 1)
3) the full output from `make` command
4) the full output from `make check`command

The `which` command is searching your $PATH to see if something called netcdf 
lives there, but it can't find it because you haven't installed it yet. You've 
built it (or parts of it), and you've tested it in your build directory 
(/home/netcdf-4.1.2/), but you haven't put it in a place where you system can 
'see' it yet (which is good, given that some tests area failing).

Cheers!
