[netCDF #FSQ-307920]: can't get netcdf-4.4.1.1 installed

Hello Carmen,

What you're seeing  is a small bug that will be fixed in the upcoming release.  
Instead of running 'make check install' you need to run 'make' by itself as a 
separate step, e.g.


    $ make && make check install

This should resolve the issue you're seeing.

Thanks!
