It appears that your C compiler doesn't understand the keyword "signed".
This indicates that it is not a Standard C compiler.  The netCDF package
must be compiled by a Standard C compiler.

Do you have a Standard C compiler on your system?  If not, then you must
first get one.  If you do have a Standard C compiler, then try the
following:

    1.  Go to the top-level, netCDF source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

    3.  Remove the file "config.cache" if it exists.

    4.  Set your environment variables as before as mentioned in the
        INSTALL file.

    5.  Set the environment variable CC to the absolute pathname of the
        Standard C compiler on your system.

    6.  Execute the configure script.  Redirect standard output and
        standard error to the file "configure.log".  If an error
        message occurs in the output, then stop and send me the file
        "configure.log"

    7.  Execute the command "make".  Redirect standard output and
        standard error to the file "make.log".  If an error occurs, then
        stop and send me the files "make.log" and "configure.log"

    8.  Execute the command "make test".  Redirect standard output and
        standard error to the file "test.log".  If an error occurs, then
        stop and send me the files "test.log" and "make.log".

    9.  Execute the command "make install".  Redirect standard output
        and standard error to the file "install.log".  If an error
        occurs, then stop and send me the file "install.log".

Alternatively, you may obtain a binary-only netCDF distribution for a
SunOS 4.1.1 Sparc system from the following URL
