No, I think you will need to use the latest netCDF beta release:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-beta.tar.Z

which has fixes for some problems, including updates to the C++
interface for more recent C++ compilers.  Just follow the instructions
in the INSTALL document, which includes several examples of
environment variable settings for Mac OS X:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html#macosx

If it still doesn't work, please send details to address@hidden
as described in the "Reporting Problems" section of the INSTALL
document:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html#ReportingProblems

If you are familiar with "fink":

  http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/users-guide/index.php

you can also use it to install the latest netCDF on Mac OS X:

Thanks.
