I'm surprised the configure script couldn't find the c89(1) compiler on
your system.  Ours is "/opt/SUNWspro/bin/c89".  Don't you also have one?

Which C compiler is "cc"?  Use the "which" or "type" command to find out
and send me the result.

Be advised that you MUST have a Standard C compiler in order to build
the netCDF package and that "/usr/ucb/cc" is NOT a Standard C compiler.
