The Portland Group C++ compiler (pgCC) has had problems compiling the
netCDF package in the past.  Apparently, this tradition continues --
see, for example, 

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/msgout?/glimpse/netcdf/5036

If I were you, I would complain to Portland Group.

Did you try g++?  That should work.
