The `configure' system used in this version of netCDF was tested on IRIX 4.0
but evidently IRIX 5.2 has a different `install' utility that no longer
supports the `-c' option.  Try overriding the INSTALL definition that
configure produces by either defining INSTALL in the CUSTOMIZE file or as an
environment variable before running `configure' or in the config.status
script produced by `configure'.  INSTALL should be defined as

        /usr/bin/X11/bsdinst

which, according to the IRIX 5.2 man pages is an install that uses BSD-style
arguments.  Please let me know if this doesn't work.
