The installation procedure is attempting to rebuild your whatis(4)
database so that you can do keyword searches for netCDF information
(e.g. `man -k ncopen').  Unfortunately, IRIX64 doesn't have the
catman(1) utility.  Fortunately, this is the last step of the
installation procedure.  Thus, it can safely be ignored.
