It is trying to build a C++ interface to netCDF, but it can't find the g++ 
compiler to compile the C++ file cxx/netcdf.cpp.

I recommend that you run "make distclean", then run the configure command 
again, specifying the --disable-cxx option to tell it not to try to build
the C++ interface.  Most users and other applications only use the C or
Fortran interfaces, and no other Unidata programs use the netCDF C++ 
interface.

If you still want a C++ interface to netCDF, you should set the environment
variable CXX and CXXFLAGS appropriately, before running configure again.
Maybe you will have to install g++ or some other C++ compiler first.
