I missed part of the instructions for installation (see below) because
they read as if they are only required if you are installing from source
rather than from a binary:
--------------------------------
Installing other software for Linux systems
* *X11 libraries*
- you need an X11 server in order to run ncl and display output to
an X11 library, and you need the X11 development libraries in order
to build NCL from source code.
Getting the development libraries on your system depends on what
kind of Linux system you have. Try one of the commands below to see
which one works on your system.
sudo apt-get install x11-dev
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
-------------------------------
Once I installed these packages, ncl loaded fine.
Apologies
Sam.
