This looks like you specified an install directory the same as the source 
directory,
using the configure argument --prefix=/wrfpkgs/netcdf-4.2.1.1 when building
from source in that directory.

As the instructions for building, at 

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/build_default.html 

include this statement:

  The installation location specified with the --prefix option must be 
different from 
  the source directory where the software is being built.

The "make install" has overwritten some of your source files, so please try 
downloading
the source again, using a different install directory.
