I think this may just be the order of arguments to gcc.  Try the following
instead:

  gcc -ansi -o tbl2cdf -I/opt/netcdf/include tbl2cdf.c -L/opt/netcdf/lib 
-lnetcdf

If that doesn't work, I'm stumped.

Here the order of libraries may be important, since the C++ library uses the
C library, the C library should probably be last, as in:

    g++ nctst.o -L/opt/netcdf/lib -lnetcdf_c++ -lnetcdf -o nctst
