This error indicates lack of permissions needed to create the directory
"libdispatch/.libs/".  If you originally unpacked the distribution as
root and are now trying to build with make as a normal user, you would
encounter this problem.  Make sure you have permissions to create new
files and directories in the directory from which you are trying to
build netCDF.

Also, we recommend that you do not use "sudo" to build and test netCDF.
Instead, just build and test as a normal unprivileged user in a directory
where you have write permissions, then after "make check" works OK, run
"sudo make install" to install the working software if you want it
installed in a directory owned by root.
