Hi Marino,

We have a newer version available that avoids some of these problems,
version 2.4.3 from 

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.Z

No, you can omit the Fortran interface by instructing the "configure"
script that you don't have a Fortran compiler.  I think this was done
for version 2.3.2 by editing the CUSTOMIZE file to set FC="", or set FC
to the empty string in the environment before invoking "configure".  The
INSTALL file describes how to do this.

If you have /usr/ccs/bin, this should be in your PATH environment
variable before you invoke the "configure" script, so it can find tools
such as "lex" and generate the Makefiles with their locations set
correctly.  Probably the /usr/ccs/bin/lex would have been found and
worked OK if you had run "configure" again to remake the Makefiles.

So the library you made is apparently working fine for C.  If you don't
need the ncdump or ncgen utilities, you can just install it with "make
install".  However, if you want the ncdump and ncgen utilities, you
should reset your PATH to include /usr/ccs/bin/, "make clean", "rm
config.cache" and start over with running "configure" after telling it
you don't have a Fortran compiler.  Or, you could get the 2.4.3 version
and build from that, but that will also require lex.
