Binaries are in /usr/bin, so NCARG_ROOT=/usr

Libraries (lib*.a) are in /usr/lib/ncarg or /usr/lib64/ncarg, hence
NCARG_LIB=/usr/lib/ncarg (or /usr/lib64/ncarg).

Thanks. Forgot to do this when I moved the data files to /usr/share/ncarg.

I think I can reproduce the segfault. Looks like the fontcap files
generated during the build have their endian-ness reversed from the
fontcap files in the Linux i686 binary package. Any idea what would be
causing that?
