If you find the reason the Sun-provided file /usr/include/sys/sysmacro.h
is missing and fix it, you should then run "make clean" or delete the
"config.cache" file before trying to run the "configure" script again.
Then "configure" won't try to use previously cached results, as it is
doing here, but will start over trying to determine the properties of
your system.

These just indicate you don't have a C++ compiler, so "make" will not
try to build or test the netCDF C++ interface, but you should still be
able to use it from C or Fortran when things are working.

The above is the real problem.  Until this check responds with "... ok",
the Sun you are using to try to build this does not have all its include
and library files installed correctly.  In particular, you must have the
Sun-provided include file "/usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h" for this to
work, though there may be other files missing as well.
