From the configure.log you sent with the output from running the
configure script, I see a problem:

You must have set the environment variable CC, which is supposed to
specify which C compiler to use if you don't want to accept the
default.  From the above, it appears that you have set
CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/c89, a compiler which probably doesn't exist on
your Linux system.  Similarly, later for the Fortran compiler:

> checking user-defined Fortran-77 compiler "/opt/SUNWspro/bin/f77"... failed 
> to compile test program
> configure: warning: The Fortran-77 interface will not be built

you must have set FC to "/opt/SUNWspro/bin/f77", which doesn't exist
on your Linux platform.

I suggest you remove the config.cache file, run "make clean", and
start over with environment variable settings appropriate for a Linux
system, as described in the INSTALL documentation at:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html

and in particular one of the tested Linux settings from:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html#linux

If there are still problems, please let us know, at
