The standard way to build the netCDF package without C++ support is to
set the environment variable `CXX' to the empty-string prior to
executing the configure script.  For example, using csh(1):

    % setenv CXX ''
    % ./configure >&! configure.log

and using a POSIX shell:

    $ CXX= ./configure >configure.log 2>&1

You can then procede with a `make all'.

I believe all this is documented in the INSTALL file.

Please let me know if this helps.
