installing on sun-os 8

[J-M Epitalon <Jean-Marie.Epitalon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am still in the process of installing LAS 6.3 on a sun/solaris system.
Please, I would need some help.

When installing netcdf module, I get the following error:

========================================

It appears that in the C code in NetCDF.xs, a variable named "na" is declared as
integer.
"na" is also a macro defined in  the standard Perl include file"embed.h",
thus generating a conflict.

Is this a bug in NetCDF.xs or did I install Perl incorrectly  (Active Perl 5.6) ?

Is it related to the message:
   "Please specify prototyping behavior for NetCDF.xs (see perlxs manual)"?
(I guess not)
