Fwd: [ncl-install] Fwd: Have anybody installed ncarg on Mac OS 10.6

Hi Mary,

One more thing I need to point out that:

The compiler gcc-4.3 installed by using Macports is 64-bit (default)

But NCL pre-compiled is 32-bit. So the NCL can not use the *.so files
generated by gfortran (64-bit).

So there are only one way to use WRAPIT. It is to install gcc-4.3 (or
gcc-4.4) using fink 32-bit version.

Last time, I only test whether WRAPIT can create *.so file or not.
