Martin,

The correct way to get the C++ interface to netCDF to build is to
define the Unix environment variable CXX before running configure.
I suggest backing out of the configure edit you did, running
'make distclean', defining CXX:

setenv CXX c++           <- C-shell syntax
CXX=C++
export CXX               <- conforming shell syntax

and then rerun configure.

OK.  Setting the Unix CXX environment variable is all you should need
to do.
