[ncl-install] question concerning installation of NCL 5.1.1 64-bit binary for x86_64 chips for LINUX (compiled with gcc 3.3.0)

Mary,

I apologize that it took me so long to respond. When you emailed me back
Friday night i was home and unable to connect to the account from my
house.

Specifically i downloaded the "ncl_ncarg_5.5.5.Linux_i686_gcc412.tar.gz".
However even after adding the "libstdc++.so.6.0.10" file and performing
the commands you outlined in your previous email i still recieved a error
message of:

Processing file: narr-a_221_19970611_2100_000_1000mb.grb...
ncl: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

After downloading the file you sent, im not sure why i am still recieving
this message. But ultimatly i still can't get it to work. I apologize for
bothering you again but if you have any other advise to get this working i
would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

-Sean
