Re: Fwd: Have anybody installed ncarg on Mac OS 10.6

Hi Mary,

I figure out how to let ncl work on my Mac OS X 10.6 (intel).

First, download the pre-compiled ncl binary file.
Second, install gfortran.

Note:It seems that the precompiled binaries of gfortran from http//
hpc.sourecforge.net or http://r.research.att.com/tools
have problems. So I use fink and macports to install gcc4.3.

I got ncl working.

Maybe when I have time, I would like to try install all the
dependencies of ncl one by one and then install ncl from source.

By the way, I found fink has ncl too. But the version is 4.2. I sent
email to fink developers to ask could they update ncl
form version 4.2 to 5.1.1. They told me that ncl currently has no fink
maintainer. I think if you could be a ncl fink maintainer
, it would be our happiness.

I would forward their emails to you.

Thanks.

Guangshan
