When you build netcdf and run "make install", it installs ncgen in the bin/
subdirectory of whatever directory you specified with the --prefix= option
to the configure script.  If you didn't specify an installation locatation with
--prefix, the default is /usr/local, so it would have been installed in
/usr/local/lib/ncgen.  You can check the creation dates on the files in /usr/bin
and /usr/local/bin with

  ls -l /usr/bin/ncgen /usr/local/bin

to see what was just installed and what is jus an old file from a previous
installation.

> [root@pmd03 nco-4.1.0]# /usr/bin/ncgen -h /usr/bin/ncgen: invalid option --
> h ncgen: -: Usage: ncgen [ -b ] [ -c ] [ -f ] [ -k kind ] [ -x ] [ -o
> outfile] [ file ... ] ncgen: -: netcdf library version 4.0 of Apr 16 2009
> 00:02:06 $

That shows that you still have an old version of ncgen in /usr/bin, but it was
not installed from netcdf-4.2.1.1 ...
