Re: [ncl-talk] ncl installation

Hello,

First, for future reference, there is now a mail list for NCL install
questions, see: http://mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/ncl-install
> I have installed ncl_ncarg-5.0.0.Linux_x86_64_gcc3.tar on my x86_64-

You must have the GCC C compiler (v3.x) libraries installed on your
host. The requirement of having libg2c.so is a vestige of
this version of the GCC tools, as the gcc/g77 compilers required this
library to interact.

Newer (v4.x) versions of the GCC compilers don't have this library
requirement; if you can use a GCC v4.x compiled binary,
that may be a better option for you.

You can set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to
where libg2c.so lives, as:

csh shells: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path/to/libg2c

sh shells: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libg2c
