Solaris is our primary development platform for netCDF, so we always
test on it first.  The 3.5.0 distribution builds without problems on
our Solaris 7 and 8 platforms using cc, c89, and gcc and the
environment variable settings listed in the INSTALL document at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html

I'm not sure whether we have "workshop pro 6.2" compilers, but I get:

  $ /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -V
  cc: Sun WorkShop 6 2000/06/19 C 5.1 Patch 109491-02

Are you sure your C compilation environment is set up correctly?  You
can look in the "config.log" file to see the reason the configure
script determined that cc couldn't compile the test program.  These
test programs are typically very simple "Hello, world" type tests, so
the reason should be evident from the error message in "config.log" ...
