Your C++ compilation environment doesn't appear to have the standard
header-files "iostream.h" and "strstream.h".  This means that your C++
compilation environment can't be used to compile the C++ netCDF
interface.

You have two choices:

 1.  Don't build the netCDF C++ interface, since it's not needed
     unless you actually have C++ programs that call it.  I don't
     believe GMT makes any use of the C++ interface.  

     To build netCDF without the C++ interface requires re-executing
     steps 2 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.  At step 5 --
     when defining environment variables -- set the environment
     variable CXX to the empty string (i.e.  "") to tell the
     "configure" script that you don't want the C++ interface.

 2.  Repair your C++ compilation environment (e.g. by reinstalling
     the GNU C compiler), so that at least the following simple C++
     program compiles and runs correctly:

 #include <iostream.h>
 int main() {
     cout << "Hello\n";
     return 0;
 }

P.S. It would be better to send questions like this to
"address@hidden" rather than specific addresses like mine,
because that way the question will be forwarded to someone who can
answer it even if I happen to be on vacation or otherwise away from my
email.
