I'm having problems reproducing this bug.  Things work fine with Sun's C++
compiler under Solaris 2.3 (with the ncbyte typedef in netcdf.h commented
out).  I tried using gcc-2.5.4, the latest gcc we have installed, and it
worked fine for building the C library and programs.  

But when I tried to build the C++ interface with gcc, I got some other
errors that seem to indicate a problem with our gcc installation: error
messages indicate gcc couldn't find system include files such as
"generic.h".  I think this is a problem with our gcc installation, and will
probably have to re-install it from the latest gcc distribution to track
down the problem.  I'll try to get that done soon.
