The failed tests are trying to access data on a remote test server, so the
failure you're seeing could be due to your platform running the test while
not connected to the Internet, or could be due to a server failure over
which you have no control.

If you want to finish the tests so you can install the software, you could
reconfigure with the --disable-dap-remote-tests option.  If you don't even
need remote access to netCDF data for your GMT build, you could also just
eliminate it with the --disable-dap configure option.
