Gavin,

The output you sent indicated that the configure script had already
put -lnsl into all the Makefiles it created, as it should have on a
SunOS 4 platform. For example, check the output of make in creating
the ncdump and ncgen executables, or any of the test programs.
I thought the problem in your case was in attempting to link a
different application that used netCDF to the netCDF library. For
that, you will have to add -lnsl to the compile/link flags in your own
Makefile for Sun platforms. The version 2.4.3 netCDF library still
requires the vendor-supplied XDR library, and the -lnsl flag tells the
compiler where to find it ...
