Howdy Ko!

I suggest you use the C API instead of the C++ API. The C++ API is outdated, 
and we are working on a replacement, but it is not ready yet.

However, if you still want to use it, go into the cxx directory in the netCDF 
install, and run "make check" to run the C++ API tests. 

Thanks,

Ed
