Hello,

It looks like you do not have permission to create the directory '/netcdf'; 
this is a system path, and you will need to either invoke it with 'sudo', or 
change the target location you are trying to install to. You might talk with 
your local sysadmin, if this is not personal machine.

Thanks, have a good day,

-Ward
