Evidently, you must have set `OS=sunx' before running `configure' (either as
a value to an `OS' environment variable, a line in the `CUSTOMIZE' file for
netCDF, or a command-line argument to the `configure' command).  That wasn't
necessary, since using the default or setting `OS=sunos' would have worked
fine.

However, copying `sunos.m4' to `sunx.m4' and rerunning `make all' would also
have gotten around the problem created by configuring with `OS=sunx', so it
should all be OK.  To make sure your result is right, just run `make test'
from the top-level directory.  If the test lines in the output that have
"***" in them look OK, then it worked and you can type `make install' to
finish installing netCDF.
