Russ,

I recompiled the Gnu C++ compiler version 2.6.3 on
my system.  Once completed I started in again on
the compilation of the c++ library.

There was a conflict in two header files for
the same variable.  In line 281 on the libsrc/netcdf.h 
and line 20 of the c++/ncvalues.hh files
the definitions are different.  I changed
the libsrc/netcdf.h line from

        typedef char ncbyte;
to
        typedef unsigned char ncbyte;

and the c++ library compiled nicely.  I am not
sure what the impact will be on the netCDF
C library with this change.  Do you?

By the way, if I took the 'unsigned' out of the
ncvalues.hh file it caused many errors.
