Then there's still some sort of problem because the netCDF Fortran API
supports both "integer*1" and "integer*2" types on our SunOS 5.5 system
with the f90 compiler:

And the nf_test/nf_test routine tests for this support.

Look at the file "fortran/nfconfig.inc" in the netCDF source tree.  Does
it contain the following lines?

    #define NF_INT1_T integer*1
    #define NF_INT2_T integer*2

Our Fortran 90 compiler looks like it's the same as yours:

    /tmp/netcdf-3.3.1/src: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/f90 -V
    f90: WorkShop Compilers 4.2 01 Dec 1997 FORTRAN 90 1.2 patch 104366-04
    Usage: f90 [ options ] files.  Use 'f90 -flags' for details
