Hi Paula,

Yes, just "make clean", then configure with the option "--disable-doxygen" and 
proceed with 
"make check" and "make install".

Alternatively, since the doxygen step is the last step in building netCDF, it's 
failure doesn't 
affect the libraries or utilities that have been built, so you can just install 
them with

    make install

That will probably give you an error also about inability to install the 
documentation, which you can
ignore.

Another workaround would be to get the current netCDF release candidate, 
netCDF-4.2.1-rc1, for
which the default is to disable generation of documentation with doxygen, from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4.2.1-rc1.tar.gz
