Just made it through my first NCL install under OS X 10.2.3 with
the above NCL version. I did *not* see the previously reported
error so it appears fixed. What I did trip over, and this may not
be a NCL issue, was a copy of /sw/lib/libdl.dylib with the wrong
name (NCL wanted libdl.dylib but Fink/dselect apparently named
it libdl.0.dylib). I haven't looked into this any deeper than
copying and renaming the lib (which fixed things) so I couldn't
say if this is a new version of dlcompat or a bug somewhere else.
But I did want to let people know this bump exists.
also, it would be nice for OS X-specific install instructions
to be documented in one place. I got a little lost in the process
of getting Fink/dlcompat installed before I could test ncl itself.
for example, I think I only saw that dlcompat was a prereq after
I accepted the license. to check again, I'm not sure how I'd
access that info w/o reaccepting the license -- though being wrong
about this wouldn't surprise me at all right now. (ok, Google finds
the announcements for OS X so that's *one* way to do it...) NOT a
huge problem, just a modest "quality of life" issue.
cheers,
