This means c++ is unable to locate some standard include files that
should be installed with any C++ compilation system.  From the above,
your C++ compiler probably won't even be able to compile the following
standard 2-line program:

#include <iostream.h>
main() {cout << "Hello, world\n"; }

You can either find out what's needed to get the C++ compiler to compile
and link the above program first (if it's based on GNUS's g++, then
probably just installing libg++ and the associated include files in a
place where c++ can find them) or just disable the compilation and
testing of the netCDF C++ interface by setting the environment variable

  CXX=""

before invoking the configure script (after removing config.cache and
running "make clean").  The C and Fortran part of the library will still
work fine without the C++ interface.
