Howdy Anders!

If you google for "using C library in C++" I am sure you will get lots of 
explainations, but basically one just calls the C functions in a normal way 
from C++ code, and everything works.

So include netcdf.h, include the appropriate -I and -L arguments to your 
compiler and linker, and call the C functions from your C++ code.

Good luck!
