It works!  I'm amazed that gcc is so sensitive to argument placement.  
Although, it does make sense that the final arguments are just passed to 
the linker.

Also, in testing nctst.cc, I found this exact ordering was needed:

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

Even if the order of the final two arguments is reversed it won't link!

Thanks (again) for your help!
