This is fixed in the latest release of netCDF version 2.4 (available from 

    ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.Z

But if you want to install the version 2.3.2pl2 that you have, 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.
