Hi,

This means C++ compiler is unable to locate some standard include files
that should be installed with any C++ compilation system (generic.h,
strstream.h).  From the above, I would guess that your C++ compiler may
not be able to compile and link 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 standard C++ programs or just ignore the C++ interface, since
the FORTRAN and C interfaces work fine without the C++ interface, and
the ncdump and ncgen utilities are also independent of the C++ interface.

You might also want to get the Win32 port of netCDF for the Windows NT
and Windows 95 platforms, from the directory

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/

where there is a README file that explains how to build it and a
customized "maks.zip" file containing "nmake" Makefiles for Visual C++
5.0.
