Neither actually.  There are two separate C++ releases, the old on you
may be used to and a new C++ release for netCDF-4.  The separate
releases are part of the announced separate packaging of Fortran and C++
releases for the upcoming 4.2 C library release.

The old C++ library, netcdf-cxx, is available from 

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-cxx-4.2.tar.gz

The new C++ for netCDF-4, netcdf-cxx4, is available from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-cxx4-4.2.tar.gz

Building either one requires first building and installing the netCDF C
library.  To build, just install some version of the netcdf C library
(4.1.3, 4.2-rc2, or the development snapshot) (or the snapshot)
somewhere, and then set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to point to that spot for
the builds of the C++ libraries.  We'll update the build documentation
soon.
