That sounds very wierd ... assuming you have done the normal things like include the rpc.h header file and theres nothing wrong with clnt.h, i suspect it has something to do with the version. I am running Sunos 4.0 and it has clnt_create. I have the same release (may 1988) documentation , and thats about the best documentation on the subject.

I am currently using version 3.5. The latest >version of the Documenation is Revision A of 9 May, 1988. The May 1988 documentation is for SunOS 4.0. The version of rpcgen in SunOS 4.0 is *much* different than that from SunOS 3.5. Fortunately, you can get the source code for rpcgen and the RPC library from SunOS 4.0 and use these. These can be found in the RPCSRC distribution, version 3.9 or 4.0. You can get RPCSRC 3.9 now from the sun-spots archive. Via anonymous FTP, connect to titan.rice.edu and cd to the sun-source directory. Among other things, you'll find 15 files that start with "rpcsrc". Via email, send a message with the word "help" to archive-server@rice.edu and follow the directions. RPCSRC 3.9 was based on SunOS 4.0 Beta software. RPCSRC 4.0 was based on SunOS 4.0 FCS (First Customer Ship) software (there are a few very minor bug fixes) . The latter should be available at the sun-spots archive soon.
