Everything up to the above point looked good.

First things first.  Do you need a C++ interface to the netCDF package?
If not, they you can simply do a "make distclean" and define the
environment variable CXX to be the empty string before (re)executing the
"configure" script.

Otherwise, if you want the C++ interface, then the solution is to use
the latest "beta" release at

    ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-beta.tar.Z

(which is a symbolic link to netcdf-3.5.1-beta13.tar.Z).  Don't let the
"beta" fool you, this is a better release than 3.5.0.
