How did you install postgis from ubuntugis?

Note that the recommended way is:
sudo apt-add repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgis

This should get you all dependencies. Netcdf will be one of them. Like
libkml it is a dependency of gdal.

Kind Regards,
Johan
