That's an old and unsupported version of netCDF from February 2006, so
my first suggestion would be to use the 3.6.3 version that had several
C++ fixes in it, such as including support for C strings in a portable
way.  Those fixes are also in the later 4.1.3 netCDF version that you
could build with --disable-netcdf-4 to get only the netCDF-3 interfaces
and still get the C++ library included.  If you get later versions than 
that, such as the most recent 4.3.0, the C and C++ interfaces are separate,
so you will first have to build and install the 4.3.0 library with
--disable-netcdf-4, then build and install the legacy netCDF C++ library 
version 4.2, telling it where to find the netCDF C library.

All these more recent library versions are available from
