Hi Craig,

I'm surprised that "f77" is invoked, because I'm pretty sure
the Sun version of "ncargex" should be invoking "f90".

Can you double-check that you are using the 5.1.0 version of ncargex
and ncargf77:

    which ncargex
    which ncarg77

I believe this should echo back "/wrf/ncl/bin/ncargex".

You can also try to force it to use the f90 compiler, just to see
if it works:

     ncargex cpex08 -n
     f90 -O -o cpex08 cpexcc.f cpex08.f -L/wrf/ncl/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib \
        -lncarg -lncarg_gks -lncarg_c -lX11 -lXext -lpng -lz
     ./cpex08
     ctrans -d X11 gmeta
