The problem is using the wrong library. Your program calls the
netCDF C++ "legacy" library API, but you are trying to link with
a non-compatible newer version of the netCDF-4 C++ library. If
you built successfully from netcdf-4.1.3, you should have
installed libnetcdf_c++ files in the lib/ directory your linking
with, in which case you can just use "-lnetcdf_c++" instead of
"-lnetcdf_c++4" for linking your program.
In case you want to use it, the newer netcdf-4 C++ library is
available and explained in the Readme documentation appearing
at the bottom of this web page:
https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-cxx4
but it's not upward compatible with the legacy API.
