Hi Thomas,

You've encountered a bug in the netCDF-4.2 distribution, which shouldn't
try to generate local documentation with the doxygen program unless
specifically requested with an --enable-doxygen configure option.

Generating the doxygen documentation is the last thing "make check does", so
since you've gotten that far, you can just run "make install" and the
installation will complete, possible with another error when it tries to 
install the doxygen-generated documentation locally.

Alternatively, you could start all over and specify "--disable-doxygen" as
a configure option and everything should complete without error.

This problem will be fixed in the upcoming 4.2.1 release ...
