Hi Chris,

Sorry for the delay in response. We are teaching a workshop in Albany this week.

I believe this problem is related to an incompatibility with gcc/gfortran compilers versions.
The NCL binary for MacOS10.6 was built with gcc/gfortran version 4.6.0.

What version do you have on your system?

    gcc --version
    gfortran --version

--Mary
