Version 3.6.2 of netCDF, from 2007, had a bug in the C++ interface,
the file cxx/ncvalues.cpp was missing the statement

  #include <cstring>

after 

  #include <string>

near the beginning of the file.  So one workaround would be to edit
that file by inserting that statement, and then continue running the
"make all check" to see if it completes successfully.

An alternative would be to just use a newer version of netCDF with
this bug (and others) fixed.  I recommend just getting the latest
netCDF source distribution (4.1.1) and building/installing from that.
If you specify --disable-netcdf-4 as an option to configure, it will
just build the netCDF-3 libraries and executables, so you won't have
to install HDF5.  You can also specify --disable-dap if you don't
need remote access via OPeNDAP to data on remote servers.  If you use 
version 4.1.1, you can continue to use the same flag settings you are 
using for 3.6.2.

Another alternative would be to just not build the C++ interface,
which is not used by the other netCDF utilities such as ncdump and
ncgen.  This is accomplished by running the configure script again 
after specifying

  $ export CXX=''

along with the other settings you are using.
