So "netcdf.h" appears in directory /usr/local/mni/include, right?

In general, one should look at the file "config.log" for clues as to what

Two observations: (1) you forgot the leading slash in the first build-path element,
and (2) "/usr" is not necessary in the build path -- the build-path is for locations
NeOT NORMALLY searched by the compler.  You should use

	./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mni --with-build-path=/usr/local/mni
