I've built and installed gcc-2.5.8, and tried it on the netcdf/c++
directory, by specifying CCC=g++ on the make line, with the following
result:

    % make CCC=g++
    g++ -g -I../libsrc   -c  netcdf.cc
    In file included from netcdf.hh:14,
                     from netcdf.cc:12:
    ncvalues.hh:13: generic.h: No such file or directory
    ncvalues.hh:14: iostream.h: No such file or directory
    ncvalues.hh:15: strstream.h: No such file or directory
    *** Error code 1

This indicates to me that the problem is not the g++ compiler from the
gcc-2.5.8 distribution, but rather the fact that we lack the libg++ class
libraries for g++, which would contain the necessary include files.  We have
these include files for the Sun CC compiler, but I know they would not
work for use with g++.

If you have the necessary class libraries, try compiling with g++ rather
than gcc and see if that gets around your problems, assuming you have libg++
properly installed.
