Please send us the output of make when you run into the problem so
we can diagnose your problem.  Instructions for what would be most
useful to us in helping diagnose netCDF build problems can be found

In particular, please note that it is the STDERR output that we will need
to see, not just STDOUT.

Tom,

Thanks for the help. I re-read the instruction, unset the previous
environment and called

make distclean

I then set the following environment variables

CC = /opt/SUNWspro/bin/c89
FC = /opt/SUNWspro/bin/f77
CXX= /opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC
F90 = /opt/SUNWspro/bin/f90

FFLAGS= -O -erroff= -WDECL_LOCAL_NOTUSED
CPPFLAGS = -DNEDEBUG
CFLAGS = -O

Whilst I thought I had done it before, I reset the LD_LIBRARY_PATH =
/opt/SUNWspro/lib

Lo and behold everything compiled and worked !
Cheers for pointing me in the right direction, I just had not read enough of the
install.html (well to the bottom).
Anyway consider this request closed

Regards
Elizabeth
