[netCDF #DNS-970730]: Error with netcdf

Hello Nishant,

Thanks for providing the additional information.  

A couple of notes; you don't mention which version of gcc/g++ you're using, or 
which flavor of Ubuntu.   However, I can try to hazard a couple of guesses.  
The errors you are getting suggest that g++ is unable to find a library 
containing those symbols it refers to as 'undefined references'.  Are you 
certain '-lnetcdf_c++4' is correct for your system? If so, it is a non-standard 
name; the default argument would be '-lnetcdf_cxx4'.  The errors are also 
'linker' errors, which I'm surprised to see; the '-c' flag you are passing to 
g++ tell the compiler to only run preprocess, compile and assemble steps.  On 
my system, at least, using g++ with the '-c' argument results in warnings that 
the linker options are all unnecessary, and it successfully compiles to a `.o` 
object, pending linking.

Please confirm that the library file name is correct, and perhaps confirm that 
you are passing the '-c' argument to g++.  If you are, what happens when you 
exclude it?

Thanks, I'm sure we'll be able to figure this out,

-Ward
