It looks like you may be trying to install an older version of netCDF
(2.3.2pl2?) on an IRIX platform.  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 man pages is an install that understands
the "-c" option.  If you want to try this, remember to "make clean" and
remove the file "config.status" before trying to rebuild netCDF.

Alternatively, you could get a more recent version of netCDF that
doesn't have this problem and install it instead.  The latest released
version (3.3.1) is available from 

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

but the problem is also fixed in a previous release available at

   ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-2.4.3.tar.Z
