The C++ interface included in the 4.1.1 distribution by default only handles 
the netCDF-3 "classic" data
model, which only permits a single unlimited dimension per file.

To build the new experimental netCDF-4 C++ interface contributed by Lynton 
Appel, you need to use the 
configure option "--enable-cxx-4".   The documentation for this new interface 
is here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/cxx4/

We expect an improved version of the C++ netCDF-4 interface will be available 
when netCDF version 4.1.2
is released, in the next month or so.
