Howdy Greg!

The build is known to work on solaris. See here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/builds/snapshot/

and search for SunOS to see some build output from the latest daily snapshot on
solaris.

The way the 3.6.2 build works is that libtool convenience libraries are
constructed for the version 2 API, another for the version 3 API, another for
the Fortran API.

Only at the end of the process are they combined into the final output
library.

Could you please build on solaris for me, and send me the complete output of
configure && make check, along with the contents of the config.log file.

Thanks!

Ed
