I just successfully built and tested version 3.5.1-beta13 of the netCDF
package using the environment variables settings given in the example
for SunOS 5.8 in the file INSTALL.html:

    CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/c89
    CFLAGS='-xarch=v9'          # 64-bit SPARC binary
    FC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/f90
    FFLAGS='-w -xarch=v9'
    CXX=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC
    CXXFLAGS='-xarch=v9'

Please retry with the above settings.  Do a "make distclean" first.  If
you encounter a problem, please following the instructions near the end
of the file INSTALL.html in the section titled "Reporting Problems".
