Howdy!

You need to consult your C++ documentation to learn how to use a
library with your program.

Basically you will need both -I options (to find header files) and -L
options, to find the libraries at link time.

Take a look here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-c/Compiling.html#Compiling

Also, if you installed netCDF yourself, and ran "make check" then you
have already built netCDF C++ programs. Go to examples/CXX and do a
"make clean check" to recreate all your C++ example programs. You will
want to compile your program with similar command lines.

Good luck!
