I think the problem is that you specified the source directory where you were 
building
netCDF to also be the destination directory where the library and executables 
should
be installed.  The default installation directory is /usr/local, but if you 
want installation
to be somewhere else specified with --prefix=... as an option to the configure 
script,
it should not be the same as the directory from which the configure script was 
invoked.

If you try again after a "make distclean" but using a different directory for 
--prefix=...
or just using the default by not specifying --prefix, it should install OK.
