I sent a reply yesterday, and I'm appending a copy of that reply to this
message.  I hope it helps.

 It appears as if you are using the old /usr/ucb/cc C compiler, which
 does not compile ANSI C.  You can use "which cc" to see where your C
 compiler is being executed from.

 If you can use an ANSI C compiler by changing your PATH environment
 variable or CC environment variable to point to the Sun C compiler or
 another ANSI C compiler, the compilation should work after a "make
 clean".  For example, the Sun compiler we use is installed in
 /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc, and the GNU C compiler which would also work is
 installed in /usr/local/gnu/bin/gcc on our systems.

 Otherwise, you may be able to workaround this problem using the old
 /usr/ucb/cc compiler by including the following definitions before line
 30 of nctest/vardef.c

 #define        FLT_EPSILON     1.192092896E-07F
 #define        DBL_EPSILON     2.2204460492503131E-16

 Then "make clean" and "make all" to see if that gets you further.
