The errors listed indicate that the xdr routines were not found at link
time.  For SunOS 2.x (Solaris) systems, the configure script should have
put the extra '-lnsl' library to search after '-lnetcdf'.  Your output
above seems to indicate that it did not (or something else happened).
I recommend rerunning configure after cleaning up or editing the makefile
in the fortran subdirectory to include search of the nsl library.
