From the above, it looks like you're trying to compile C++ code using a
C compiler.  This probably will not work.

If you want to compile the C++, netCDF code, then you must ensure that
the environment variable CXX is correctly defined.  Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level, netCDF source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 near the end of the INSTALL file.

    3.  If you want the C++, netCDF interface, then ensure that the
        environment variable CXX references a valid C++ compiler.  If,
        however, you do NOT want the C++ interface, then ensure that the
        CXX environment variable is set to the empty string.

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.

Please let me know if this helps.
