Could you send us a copy of the "config.log" file that was written
when this error occurred?  Also it would be useful to know the value
of the environment variables you set for configure, telling it what
compilers to use.  At the end of the INSTALL file, there is a list of
the information we need to diagnose problems with building netCDF.  

We can't duplicate the problem you are seeing here if you are really
using SunOS 4.1.4 (that would be a very old version).  Is the version
really SunOS 4.4.1?

By the way, if you only need the C interface to netCDF but don't need
the Fortran interface, you can get around the above problem by not
building the Fortran interface.  The INSTALL file tells how to do this
by setting the FC environment variable to "".
