Yes, you only need to install the netCDF C library to get ncdump and other
netCDF utilities (nccopy, ncgen, nc-config), which will be installed in
/usr/local/bin by default, or in the bin/ subdirectory of wherever you
specify with the --prefix= option to the configure script.
I would recommend using either the netcdf-4.3.0 release from 3 months ago, or
the new netcdf-4.3.1-rc1 release candidate that will probably be available
later this week.
We test our releases on Solaris, so it building from source should be
straightforward, following these instructions:
